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 27^th 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.

Mark your calendars and save the date for our annual Church Conference / Love Feast on November 3, 2024 @ 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 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.
