Trunk or Treat – Candy and Volunteers Needed! Gibsonville United Methodist Church will once again be partnering with the town and other area churches to offer Trunk or Treat in our church parking lot, along Joyner Street and at First Baptist Church. Trunk or Treat will be held Monday, October 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Each year about 800 children from our community attend this event. Our goal is to have 15 cars distributing candy in the GUMC parking lot, and we will also offer a few games along Joyner Street. Please consider volunteering by either signing up here or on one of the sign-up sheets in the Welcome Center or outside the Wharton Room. Donations of candy are also being accepted in the Welcome Center or, if you prefer, you can make a monetary donation marked “Trunk or Treat.” Thanks for all you do to support one of our largest community outreach efforts!
