HALLOWEEN: Kids’ Haunted House – Sunday was awesome. Exciting, fun, full of teachable moments , helping our kids know that even though we are afraid, God says, “don’t be afraid, for I am with you; don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will help you.” (Isaiah 41.9b-10)
We used fringe volunteers – those who loved kids (or me) but don’t serve regularly in with the kids – they were a huge asset so that our faithful teachers & leaders, got a break. A satellite group bagged candy and baked cookies for us. We were able to invite several other wwKids volunteers into a deeper “serving” experience, building vision and excitement for what happens behind the scenes! We had a great Confronting Fears article on Saturday, October 30, in the Citizen Pat with a photo of Leigh MacCready. The article truly represented what WW was intending to accomplish with a Halloween celebration! We used Mel Evans artistic skills and promoted the Haunted House at Paragon school via an one-of-a-kind kids coloring book.

We had 220 kids Sunday morning. That is 70 more than we usually have. While this number is very exciting we WON on some many levels. To maximize this win, we need to tell the story of what God is doing in wwKids and invite them along as well.
HALLOWEEN: Family Movie Nite – 126 people came to the movies. Sheryl Amburgey (Tolonen) gave 3 or 4 new families – first time stepping into WW – tours.
