For my last community event, my boyfriend and I went to see the Christmas Lights. He has never been and I haven’t been since I was little so I thought we could take him along. We had an amazing time, there was people there that I knew and more people there that I never seen before. I forgot how big the Christmas Lights were. Last year, more than 375 trees which were decorated. Ranging in height from 6 feet to more than 90 feet. There was as few as 500 lights and as many as 5,000 lights used on one single tree. I loved every minute being there and it made me forget whatever I was dealing with back at home and just enjoy my time there, seeing the beautiful lights. Then, afterwards Nick and I went to cracker barrell and ate. I would recommend people going because it is so pretty and you don't want to miss it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qs1stjwuIs-mF2_dlnpr2uG32WesOBG1cunSp4uwZ9Q/edit

Trunk or treat is where people can sign up at places like: church, fire departments, hospitals, etc. and decorate the trunk of their car or truck for halloween and give out candy. It is really fun seeing little kids of all ages come all dressed up asking for candy. Trunk or treating, also known as Halloween tailgating in some places. For churches that celebrate Halloween, trunk or treat has become a safe alternative for parents who wish to keep a watchful eye on children. I’ve done trunk or treat as a kid asking for candy to helping out with trunk or treat. The people that come to trunk or treak can be any religion or race. But since we do have ours at a church, we give out little books about Jesus and our church to get people to come and hear about Jesus Christ. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uF2TErKKGBgBSHCJ4MSe4J7oK55ztU5XAUTcsVSNYCw/edit VBS is short for vacation Bible school. What it is for is to teach kids about Jesus in a fun and active way in the summer. My church does it every summer and I’ve been going to it since I was a little kid. I decided to go this year to help my grandparents out because they cook for VBS every year. VBS lasted about a week and we had over 1,000 kids come at our church for it. We had all kinds of people. Blacks,whites, Latinos, etc. We had kids ages from babies to high schoolers and adults, to seniors coming to VBS. The environment at VBS was very uplifting and fun. It was so cute and precious to see these little kids love worshiping God and singing and dancing. Everyone was so sweet and wonderful and I believe we all had such a blast going. VBS really brought our community in one place. I really enjoyed VBS. Just seeing all these little kids with smiles so big and wide on their faces just melted my heart.
