We are excited to announce that we will be having our Trunk-or-Treat event on October 31st from 5pm to 7pm, with a raindate of November 1st from 6pm to 8pm, here at the Washingtonville Campus. This event is open to the community and we expect to have a huge turnout as we have in the past! To ensure things run smoothly, please register that you are joining us that evening by signing up one adult in the family and indicating how many in your group: graceoc.com/events

What we need:

We need our Grace family to register your trunk! Think of a fun (non-scary) theme, decorate your vehicle, and hand out candy to the “trunk or treaters” from the neigborhood! You’ll be entered in a contest too!! Register your vehicle at graceoc.com/trunks

We also need our Grace family to donate candy! Everyone knows our Trunk or Treat has the best candy, and LOTS of it is needed. If you can help by filling up the trunk in the lobby of our Washingtonville Campus – this will help make Trunk-or-Treat a success!

Middle School Retreat: The Collective Youth Ministry will hold it’s annual 678 Retreat on October 15-17 at the Word of Life Camp in Schroon Lake, NY. Registration is $150 per student and includes meals, lodging, entertainment, and program materials. Register at graceoc.com/events
