S.H.I.N.E. Family Fall Festival

On Sunday, Oct. 28th, kids of all shapes and sizes dressed as princesses, hobos, clowns and Supermen will converge on EUM Worship Center for S.H.I.N.E., a community wide alternative to traditional Trick or Treat. S.H.I.N.E. is short for Share His Incredible News Everywhere and is hosted by Children’s Ministry at EUM Church. It’s a great way for kids from all over Darke County to participate in a safe, secure event that not only offers the fun, costumes and candy of a traditional Trick or Treat, but also conveys a great message of faith. This year’s theme will be “Once Upon A Time, A Walk Thru Creation”.

The church parking lot will be transformed into a storytelling arena where kids and their parents will move through 13 different stations. Each station will tell the story of how God created the world and everything in it, day by day. The kids will be given candy that represents the story they have just heard. By the time they have moved through all the stations, each child will not only have collected lots of candy, but more importantly, learn about God’s plan for creation.

EUM will be expanding their festival this year to include more games and activities, inflatables and even hay rides (weather permitting). EUM Worship Band as well as Wittler’s Black Belt Academy & Team Dragon will be performing on stage. EUM Christian Preschool will also be providing “story time” for preschoolers and their parents. No need to wait in line, there’s plenty of fun things to do.



The entire community is invited and welcomed. Whether you have a church you attend or not, if you have children ages newborn through grade 6, please come and enjoy a free evening of family fun on October 28 at the Worship Center on the corner of Sater and Sebring Warner Roads. The festival will open at 4:00 pm with SHINE story stations running from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. We will also have door prizes, free hot chocolate, hot dogs and popcorn. In the event of rain, S.H.I.N.E. will be moved inside to the Sanctuary. For more information, contact EUM Church, Liz Gable at 548-3211 ext. 202 or www.eumchurch.org.
