Our building is gearing up for our Community Indoor Trick-or-Treat this Saturday, October 31 from 6:00-7:30 PM! The weather looks a little iffy right now for outdoor trick-or-treating, so make us one of your stops to stay warm and dry. Donuts & c***r will be available for the first 200, and the Cascade Township Fire Department will be here from 6:30-7:00 PM with their trucks!

Make Thornapple Community Church one of your stops this Halloween anywhere from 6:00-7:30 PM for indoor trick-or-treat, donuts & c***r, and the Cascade Fire Department!

🎃

Let your kids trick-or-treat inside our building where it is warm, dry and fully lit. Take off those winter jackets and gloves and show off those adorable costumes that you spent way too much on. Walk through our building at your own pace and knock on our office and classroom doors; there just might be a candy or a prize behind it!

At the very end, there will be donuts and c***r for the first 200 people through. You're welcome to take it and run, or sit and enjoy for a while!

You can come and go anytime between 6:00-7:30 PM (last entry at 7:15 PM). We estimate that little legs can do the whole building in 30-45 minutes, so there's even time to swing through a couple houses in your neighborhood, too! There is no need to sign-up, just show up! Invite your neighbors and friends to join you. We'll have thousands of goodies to handout, so all are welcome!

All of our decorations are fun and age appropriate, so nothing will be scary or gory. This event is geared toward those in 5th grade and under, however all ages are welcome to attend. That being said, we ask that similarly, costumes remain appropriate as many young children will be present. Please bring a bucket or bag to collect your candy and prizes.

🔥 The Cascade Fire Department will be stationed outside our doors from 6:30-7:00 PM. Stop by so the kids can explore their trucks, take pictures and maybe even receive a treat! 🔥

Our first ever Mall Madness was such a hoot last night! Here's a glimpse at most of the crew who came out to hide around Woodland Mall, and the teams who competed for giftcards. Yes, Bailey the dog participated too!

This Sunday, our worship service will take a brief pause from our fall sermon series to do an entire service dedicated to the greatest sermon of all time: The Sermon on the Mount. The whole service will be crafted around going through the entire passage (Matthew 5-7) using scripture, music, artwork and videos. Join us this Lord's Day for this special service!

You can stream our service live or watch later on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/

This morning, we announced the launch of our Accessibility Alcove, located in the sanctuary right inside the last set of double doors. These items are available for anyone to borrow and use during the service to help make God more accessible. If there is something we're missing that you think we should add, please let us know!
