Trunk Or Treat on Saturday, September 24
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Everyone is invited to come to the church parking lot and be part of sharing good will (and candy) with children from Good Shepherd and the neighborhood. We are an allergy / dietary restriction friendly event where plenty of candy is given to any and all. Come out and have fun while making kids smile, enjoying the decor and building some friendships.
