Halloween outreach

This past Halloween, GCI’s congregation in Tipp City, OH (Grace Communion Tipp City), served 300 hotdogs, more than 450 cups of hot chocolate, and gave candy to about 600 children. The congregation’s church building is situated in the middle of the Tipp City trick-or-treat route, giving the congregation opportunity to reach out to most of the trick-or-treaters and their families. According to interim Lead Pastor, Rick Shallenberger, “Not only did we provide the hotdogs, hot chocolate and candy, but we also provided rest rooms and a place for families to warm up. It was great fun, and a great way to greet most of the children and families in the town.”
