Kids, Cars and Candy! Trunk or Treat Oct. 27

 What is Trunk or Treat?  A fun, safe, fellowship event to celebrate Halloween!

How it works:  Ivy Chapel UCC members who wish to provide treats for our young trick-or-treaters come to church and park in the parking lot.  We encourage everyone to dress in costume and to decorate your trunk or vehicle.  Adults stay by their cars, while the children trick or treat their way around the parking lot.

Pumpkin Decorating:  Bring your own little pumpkin –
we’ll provide the paint and stickers.

Bring a side dish to share if you’d like!

 Kids love candy at Halloween but you’re welcome to hand out other items, too -such as pencils, stickers, or even homemade goodies!!

While we’re enjoying our treats, let’s share with others.
Bring a jar of peanut butter or a few cans of food!

Or fill our cauldron with donations for Joint Neighborhood Ministries.

Trunk or Treat, something good to eat!

Everyone is welcome to join us for our annual Halloween Party and Trunk or Treat October 28 starting at 4 p.m. It’s a safe, fun fellowship event. We’ll have candy & goodies (of course), along with a hot dog roast and other scary activities under the pavilion!

Ivy Chapel members who want to provide treats for the kids should arrive around 3:30 to decorate their cars in the upper parking lot. Everyone is encouraged to dress up.

The new school year has begun!

On August 16, the Ivy Chapel congregation celebrated Rally Day, the beginning of the new Sunday School year. The day began with our 2nd outdoor worship… and while the St. Louis humidity was in fine form, a cool breeze made it more than tolerable. The children joined the service, walking down the hill from the main building holding streamers and artwork they created during the summer depicting their favorite Bible stories. The artwork will hang in the Sunday School hall downstairs.

It’s going to be a great year at Ivy Chapel!
