SUMC’s Haunted House 2018

House tours are Friday and Saturday, October 19, 20, 26, and 27, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Tickets are $8. We recommend the House for kids aged ten years and older. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that because it’s in a church, it will be tame. We try to give people what they’re paying for. We’ve made children cry, teens wet their pants, and adults scream, so please don’t force your young children to go through when they don’t want to.

More details are available on our Haunted House page.

Sunday’s Sermon

The Importance of Being Kind
The Importance of Being Kind

From the Psalms:

Do you really love life?
Do you want to be happy?
Then stop saying cruel things
and quit telling lies.
Do good instead of evil
and try to live at peace.


From my head:

Easy to say.
Hard to do.
What is the key?
I've a message for you.

Fundraiser

Our church has skeletons in its closets. You also might find them being gnawed by plague rats, laying around in Jack the Ripper’s alley, or in Lizzi Borden’s dining room. SUMC’s 2018 Haunted House will take you back to the victorian era for a ripping good time, starting this weekend.

I told her I had not and immediately went to Cindy’s page to find what Nancy found so interesting. Here is what Cindy posted…
