Bring your families out for Fall Fest & Trunk-or-Treat at Washington Street! At Washington Street we want to be about families and helping families walk in the way of Jesus. There are some great family activities planned this month for just that reason. On Wednesday night, October 25th, from 6-8pm we are again hosting a family “Trunk-or-Treat” night in our parking lot. Dinner and “trunk-or-treating” begins at 6pm with a special Teen & Children’s Bible class & worship to follow at 7pm. All of our young peo-ple and their parents are invited to come out, dress in your favorite (& friendly) costume, enjoy a night of “trunk-or-treating” together, stay for dinner and Bible classes.

We are in need of volunteers to serve as host by decorating their trunks and handing out candy. You can also help by donating candy! Please see Terry Smith to volunteer or to drop off your donations of candy at the building. Thank you!

Please note that the annual Fall Fest has been moved to Sunday evening, October 29th. The Kilpat-rick farm will once again be the location and we are so grateful to their entire family for serving as wonderful hosts. There will be food, fun and great fellowship out under the stars for all ages. A hay ride and other activities will be available for young & old alike. A great time is basically guaranteed! See Keith Kilpatrick to volunteer to bring food or for more information. Activities will begin at 6pm following our evening worship services at the building.

Thanksgiving Service Sunday night, November 19 with bro. Cederick Davis

Every time we turn on our television sets we hear more news about division, strife and conflict in our world. Sadly, that is even the case in the church more often than we would like to admit. To be a part of the solution rather than the problem, Washington Street is inviting area churches together on Sunday night, November 19th to hear bro. Cederick Davis of the Mayberry Street congregation and to worship together. My goal is for us to begin a conversation as to how the church can be a positive and redeeming influence in our own community for the sake of Christ as well as for the sake of our community and how a more diverse community of believers can be a strong testament to the power of the gospel! It is a burden to my soul that there is so much racial division in our country, but it bur-dens me even more when we see it in the church! We have long

held this annual service of our traditionally African-American and our traditionally white congrega-tions coming together for worship and it has been such a blessing to us all! We want to increase the power of this unity by encouraging all the churches of Christ to rejoice together in our common Sav-ior, our common LORD and our common heritage as brothers and sisters in Christ.

God bless,

Jim
