Trunk or Treat Was a Hit Again This Year!

Trunk or Treat Was a Hit Again This Year!

Kristine Adams


Once again, Berwyn UMC put on a fantastic family community event. We had a steady stream of families the whole two hours. Pastor Kevin set up a QR code for parents to fill out a form to win a door prize—how many pumpkin candies in the jar? We received about 80 responses—lots of adults and kiddos came to play with us.

This cannot happen without the Trunks:

  • David & Isabel Adams
  • Amy Dodds
  • Brett & Cindy Shallcross
  • Mark DeStefano
  • Rebecca & Pastor Kevin Rutledge
  • Claudia Sharpless
  • Krapf Transportation Company
  • Aliyah Bonsu & her Impact Project “Project Bee Blessed”

I am once again thrilled with the turnout of the community and the unconditional support of this congregation. We are touching many lives with this event. We will continue to strive to be inclusive of all children regardless of age or ability. Save the date for next year: Saturday, October 22, 2023.

The difference is remarkable, and it’s something we can all be proud of when welcoming people to our church.One of the key updates includes clearly marked handicapped parking spots, making it easier for those with mobility challenges to access our building. We’ve also refreshed the directional arrows to ensure a smooth one-way flow through the lot, and clearly marked the "Do Not Enter" signs at the exit to enhance safety for everyone.Take a look at the pictures below to see the improvements:Handicapped Spots with Improved VisibilityOne-way Direction Arrows for Safety"Do Not Enter" at the Exit for Improved SafetyThis project was funded by the church’s reserve funds, but if you’d like to contribute to help defray the cost, your one-time donation would be greatly appreciated.
