Dear Church Family:
We hope you are planning on attending the Family Harvest Party this year!
We had some sign-up sheets in the hallway at church; unfortunately, due to some severe pain issues I have been having, I haven't been to church to check those sign-up sheets.
If you signed up for something on the sign-up sheet, please e-mail and let me know what you signed up for.
If you have NOT signed up already, I'm sure you're wondering, "HOW CAN I HELP?"Thank you for asking!! Your help & support will be a great blessing to us!!
There are several ways to help:
1. Sign up to help with an activity station. (more info. below)
2. Bring some needed supplies (plain sugar cookies, frosting, sprinkles, donuts, roasted pumpkin seeds).
3. Make a monetary donation to help cover expenses for prizes & supplies.
4. I need someone to make a gift basket for the adult costume prize winner.
5. We will need some help setting up & decorating on the day of the party.
THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER:1. Wear a costume! There will be prizes for kids & adults!
2. If you want to join the pumpkin carving/painting, you need to BRING YOUR OWN PUMPKIN (and your favorite carving supplies if you wish!).
3. PLEASE TELL US HOW MANY KIDS YOU ARE BRINGING. We are handing out special treats at the end of the party, and we want to have enough for all the children.
More details are listed below...If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!
Cathi & Melissa =)
FAMILY HARVEST CELEBRATIONSaturday, October 30
6:00 to 8:00 PM
Skagit Valley Church of Christ
This is for the whole family...bring your kids, grandkids and friends!
This year's party is being planned a little differently and we need your help so it will run smoothly! Most of the activities will take place in the auditorium. The exceptions will be the MAZE, created by Jacob in the kitchen; and the Pumpkin Carving/Painting in the foyer. The doors to the auditorium will open at 6:00 P.M.
The kids will rotate to different stations from 6:00 to 7:15. At 7:15 we will have some races and then end at 8:00 p.m.
We need people to supervise stations from 6:00 to 7:15. All supplies will be provided.
The activity stations are:
1. Pumpkin Carving (for adults & older kids w/parent permission) and Pumpkin Painting for younger kids
2. Decorate A Cookie--frosting & sprinkles to make a cookie to take home
3. "Don't Let Satan Blow Your Light Out"--shooting out a candle flame w/a water gun!
4. "Lazarus" -- see who can wrap Lazarus the fastest with toilet paper!
5. "David & Jonathan" -- archery competition
6. "Peter Walks on Water" -- another water gun competition!
7. "Fear Not" -- create a monster (craft)
8. "Bread of Life" -- donut eating contest!
We will not hand out candy at every station. Each child will have a special treat bag with not only candy, but other special treats to take home at the end of the party.
A refreshment table will be set up...bring you favorite Fall treats!
Contact Cathi or Melissa Adams with any questions.
