Join us for a fun and festive community event in Birdsboro!
Light the Night Birdsboro Campus
Saturday, October 30th
6:00pm – 8:00pm
In conjunction with trick-or-treating night in Birdsboro, we will be hosting Light the Night at our Birdsboro Campus. Families are invited to stop by for our Trunk or Treat event (or sign up to participate and decorate a trunk!)
What is Trunk or Treat? It’s Trick-or-Treating in a fun, safe environment. Instead of kids going door to door, we invite volunteers to decorate their cars in a fun, non-scary way and hand out treats or prizes. Children go car to car, instead of door to door. Children will get to vote on the best decorated vehicle, and the winner will receive a large prize! We will also be providing a meal of hot dogs and snacks! This is a festive, fun, and wholesome community-wide event that is lighthearted and loved by children of all ages!
There are two ways you can participate: by registering to decorate your car and hand out treats, or by volunteering to donate your time or food items for the event.
Volunteer to Donate Time or Food Items
We are in need of volunteers to help run the event, as well as donations of food and supplies for meals, and donations of candy/prizes to be handed out to the children. To donate candy/prizes, no sign-up is needed; bins will be placed in the lobby of both church campuses – simply bring your peanut-free, individually-wrapped candy or prize items and drop them in the bins between now and Sunday, October 25th. If you would like to volunteer to help with the event, please see our Sign Up Sheets!
