Trunk or Treat was a great success. All I can say about it is that God was present and He provided all we needed!

We prayed for 40 cars. God gave us 45 trunks!

We prayed for advertisement. God gave us free space on two digital marquees in town! He gave us students, teachers, and PTA reps to pass out fliers! He gave us businesses in the neighborhood that were willing to allow us to hang posters! He gave us word of mouth!

We prayed for interesting decorations. God gave us a pirate with buried treasure, a felon in prison, a fishing hole, carnival games, a pumpkin car, a chocolate chip cookie car, a vampire bat handing out Starburst, and so much more!

We prayed for the children to come. God gave us an estimated 700 visitors!

We prayed for more greeters and volunteers than we knew what to do with.
God gave us husbands, children, boyfriends, neighborhood moms, teenagers (galore!), a policeman, two firemen, and many teachers! I would estimate we had 50 people to simply help out.

We prayed for clear weather. God gave us a warm day with an easy breeze!

We prayed for community participation. God gave us 5 teachers from Hodges, 2-3 teachers from Mackey (a school right around the corner), 1 principal, 1 policeman, 2 firemen, 1 PTA rep, 2 mom's from the neighborhood, and 1 city counsel woman!

GOD IS GOOD!

Thank you for all your help with Trunk or Treat this year!
