Our Trunk or Treat was a huge success — praise God! We were blown away by the turnout, welcoming around 300 people total — including our incredible volunteers — for an evening filled with joy, laughter, and connection.

Thanks to the generosity of our church family, we were able to hand out over 23 large (5-gallon!) buckets of candy — and the smiles on the kids’ faces said it all! From creative trunks and fun carnival-style games and prizes to popcorn, bounce houses, music, pie the Pastor, and food trucks, the night was truly alive with excitement.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers and trunk decorators — you went above and beyond to bless our community. Your creativity, energy, and servant hearts made this event welcoming, safe, and joy-filled for every guest who walked through our gates.

And to all the families and guests who joined us — thank you for spending the evening with us! We loved meeting our neighbors and can’t wait to see you again.

We’re already dreaming and planning for next year’s Trunk or Treat — even bigger and better!

If you would like to be a part of the planning team for next year, please let Katie LaCoste know — we’d love to have you involved!

We had the joy of blessing six quilts, three afghans, and two special baptism quilts during worship. Each stitch represents the love and prayers of our dedicated Quilters Group, who pour their time and talents into creating these gifts of comfort and care.

On Tuesday, October 7th, the six quilts and three afghans were delivered to Banner Ironwood Hospital and received by Chaplain Adrienne Scales. These beautiful handmade pieces will now bless patients and families in need of warmth, encouragement, and a tangible reminder of God’s love.

We are grateful for the faithful work of our quilters and the impact their ministry continues to have both within our congregation and out in the community. Truly, these quilts are more than fabric—they are expressions of Christ’s love, stitched together with prayer.

This past Sunday, our church family had the joy of celebrating a very special milestone—Landen’s Confirmation during our 9:30 AM contemporary worship service.

Confirmation is such an important step in the life of a young believer. It’s a time to publicly confess faith in Jesus Christ, affirm the promises made at baptism, and step forward as a full communicant member of the congregation. For Landen, this moment marked the culmination of two years of faithful learning, prayer, and preparation.

Surrounded by his family, friends, and church community, Landen boldly confessed his faith and took his stand for Christ. It was a beautiful service filled with worship, reflection, and celebration—reminding each of us of our own confirmation vows and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Following the service, we gathered for a reception with cake to honor Landen’s commitment. The joy, encouragement, and words of blessing shared were a wonderful testimony of the love and support of our church family.

We are so proud of Landen and give thanks to God for raising up the next generation of believers within our congregation. Please continue to lift him up in prayer as he grows in his walk with Christ and lives out his faith daily.

Congratulations, Landen—we celebrate you and the faith you’ve confirmed in Christ Jesus!
