Movies Under The Oaks
Bring your field blankets and folding chairs. This event will be free to the community and food and refreshments will be provided: Hotdogs, soft pretzels, popcorn, lemonade, tea, and hot chocolate on chilly nights. Movies will be projected on our 14 ft outdoor screen unless weather conditions do not allow In that case, movies will be shown in the multi-purpose sanctuary. The next showing is Friday, November 1st. It will be The Chosen season 2, episode 3.
Trunk or Treat
This year Chaires will again be sponsoring a vehicle at the annual Texas Roadhouse Trunk or Treat. That means we need a lot of candy. So, for the month of October, we will be taking up candy donations every Sunday in the back of the sanctuary. We will also have a special “stuffing” day on Sunday, October 27th following the Sunday worship service in the Sunday School classroom. We need to stuff special gift bags with candy and various “Christian-themed” Halloween trinkets and prizes.
Monster Gospels
On October 30, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in the multi-purpose sanctuary, Chaires will be providing a presentation of the Monster Gospels FREE to the community. It is a NOT-SCARY spooktacular. This will be an interactive presentation in which Jason Korsiak will provide spiritual reflections on some of the greatest horror classics of all time. It is a perfect spiritual presentation leading up to Halloween. THIS EVENT IS FOR ALL AGES and is great for kids. If you would like to find out more about Jason Korsiak, you can visit his website at: WWW.KORSIAK.NET.
Church Conference / Love Feast
Mark your calendars and save the date for our annual Church Conference / Love Feast on November 3, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We will not only be affirming the business of the church, but we will be celebrating all our accomplishments over the past year and turning our attention to what the future holds for Chaires Methodist. We will kick off this event with a Love Feast / Potluck meal in which Chaires will provide a BBQ that is prepared on our open pit grill, and we are asking members of the congregation to bring a side dish to share. This Love Feast will start in the multi-purpose sanctuary and after the meal, we will head over to the historic sanctuary for a time of conference and celebration.
