We just wanted to share with you a letter we received from one of our children about the recent event,  "trunk a treat" , we held on October 31.  I have not edited the letter but left it just as we received it:

Dear curch,

HI!  Thank you for trunk or trick.  I had so much fun.  I loved seeing the back of each car!  plus the cake walk.  I won 2 times.  in fact every kid in my family won at least once.  But not my older sister.  And the cool jumping casatle.  Also i made a new friend.  We spent the whole time togher.  And i panted 2 pumkins.  i loved it when the church meets.  Cool chili.  thank you, your friend KKW.
