Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 10:08AM Last Friday night the church hosted over 30 youth at its 3rd annual Halloween party. They enjoyed candy, games, crafts and spooks. But the highlight of the party was playing ghost in the graveyard over at Old Meeting House cemetary. Even with all of the rain, we made the trek over. A big thank you to Pat Cleeland for organizing the event and Sarah and Eric Ludlow for volunteering their time. Check out the video of one of the games they played!
