Bethany Assembly of God is celebrating its 10th Annual Fall Festival on Saturday, October 31, 3:00 – 5:30 pm.
This year’s festival, as in the past, will consist of food, inflatable games, face painting, balloons, small games, a hayride, the outstanding TNT puppet team, a delicious ‘Old Fashioned Cake Walk’, Laser Tag and with lots of fun for the whole family with kids up through 6th grade.
We are excited to be able to sponsor this event. It is open to the public admission charge is one can of non-perishable food item for the Best Life Food Ministry that reaches out to our neighboring community. Our food concession will be donating all proceeds to the Boys and Girls Missionary Crusade to help support missions efforts overseas.
Laser Tag will be $1 per person.
Face painting is always a high point of the evening and we’ve got some creative painters.
So slide the giant slide and bounce in the house and stretch that bungee cord and crawl through a fun mixed-up maze for all you are worth as you enjoy the other activities in between.
Then get set for an awesome production by our own ‘Gold Medal’ winning puppet team directed by Marilene Allen. You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen their ‘Blacklight’ puppetry. The TNT team has been in schools and churches all over the area as well as trips to Canada and Ireland. You don’t want to miss this.
Besides all that it’s a safe, warm environment – NO RAIN!
What more could you ask for, some candy? Well of course, every child, (sorry parents), goes home with a bag of candy.
Why not come and join us for a great time. We’ll be looking for you!

SPECIAL WORSHIP SERVICE AND TEACHING IN SUPER CHURCH
NOVEMBER 15 at 10:45 AM
Jason uses his creative talents and energy to bring exciting object lessons and stories in Children’s and Youth Camps, Retreats and Conferences across the country. His gift of music and his heart for worship also brings children into a special time of worshiping their creator GOD.
Jason, Kristie and the boys are becoming more and more well known throughout New England and we are very pleased to be able to have them with us on Nov. 15 in Super Church. They will be leading our children in worshiping God. It is so easy for our children to get wrapped up in worshiping current ‘culture’ idols, sports and electronic technology. Jason will help them to understand what it is like to worship GOD with their voices and from their hearts! You can learn more about them at www.athomeministries.com.
As we approach Thanksgiving why not join us for a time of worshiping God. This service is designed for children in first through sixth grade.
