Hello everyone! As October begins, I hope you all are filled with sugar, and spice, and the love of Christ!
“For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” –Zephaniah 3:17

We will be making pies in November for the holiday season. You can pre-order your pies beginning Oct 16th. There will be order forms in the bulletin, at the back of the church, or you can call the office to place your order. We will have traditional apple pie and streusel topped Dutch apple pie. All pies are $12 and proceeds help fund the various activities and retreats for our youth throughout the year.
30 Oct 2022
On October 30 from 3-5pm, we will be having our annual Trunk or Treat event for our congregation, community, and our Preschool families. If you are new to Trunk or Treating, it is a modern tradition in which kids go “trick or treating” car to car in our parking lot. We invite any church member who would like to join in on the fun to sign up! Decorate the back of your car to offer a fun place for the children to stop and receive a treat from you. Bring your own pre-packaged candy or treats, and dress up if you like to as well. There are prizes for the top three best-decorated trunks! Vehicles can start setting up at 2 pm and the trunk or treating begins at 3 pm. If you would like to decorate your vehicle and hand out treats, please register at https://mailchi.mp/stpaulsherwood/trunk-or-treat
If you want to trunk or treat, there is no need to register. Come on by between 3-5pm on Sunday October 30th!
Here are some photos for decorating inspiration!
