Crazy socks that is!

This week the Crazy Christmas Countdown begins. Are you ready? Come ready to participate… wear the craziest socks you own. If they look like Christmas, even better!

Wait a second. You may not have any idea what we’re talking about. Click here to find out more about our Crazy Christmas Countdown… but don’t forget about the socks!!!

Yes, it’s that time again. You get an extra hour of sleep this Saturday night. How great is that? Don’t forget to turn your clock back an hour, otherwise you’ll be really early at church on Sunday!

Just a reminder. Last week we told you about the Great Gateway Gathering. Click here if you missed it!

On Sunday we distributed over 2000 gathering cards to kids and their families. So, tonight is your opportunity to go out and give these cards to a few of your neighbors. It’s better to give it to them in person, but if they’re not home, you can put it on their door. Then tomorrow when you’re out doing your trick or treat thing, swing buy the neighbors you gave cards to and pick up their food donations. It’s a great way to gather food for our community food pantry, especially in this season of great need. On Sunday, bring the food you’ve collected to the Kids Quest lobby.

What if I’m just now hearing about this?

That’s fine, you can still participate in one or more ways!

1. Feel free to download our Gathering flyer here (it’s a big file). You can pass these around today or tomorrow morning so you can pick up food tomorrow night.
2. Don’t worry about the flyer. Go knock on some doors of neighbors you know (or maybe some you don’t) and tell them about how they can help those in need this fall.
3. At the very least, go through your pantry and bring some of your food to give away. You can drop off all the donations in the Kids Quest lobby this Sunday.

Attention Gateway dads of young children. There is a Men’s Breakfast at 9:00 AM on Saturday, October 31st. Free childcare is always offered, but this time the kids will have holiday themed crafts and a costume parade. Oh yeah, we’ll also have candy. Let this be you and your child’s first Halloween activity!

If you’ve never been to Gateway’s Men’s Breakfast, you’re in for a treat. It’s a great place to connect with other men and this time Cody Kanz will be speaking. In addition to the candy for your kids, we’ll serve breakfast tacos from Taco Deli. The cost is only $7. If you plan on attending, fill out the form below so we can plan for your attendance. Send questions to men@gatewaychurch.com.

Let me know if you have any questions, I couldn’t think of any other details right now.  I may send you some more later, but this is good for this week.

Kids Quest invites you to join in the, The Great Gateway Gathering

On October 31^st, Halloween Night, Kids Quest is organizing a fall outreach opportunity for families.  This outreach will engage our communities and help fill the food pantry at Gateway Church.  We will be engaging our kids in serving their community as well as helping to fill up the food pantry at Gateway.

How can you get involved?
On Sunday, October 25^th in the KQ building families will have the opportunity to grab “Gather Food” cards.  These cards will provide a instructions for receiving homes, and instructions for family willing to participate.  Each family will be able to pick up as many cards as they would like to hand out in their neighborhood.

What do I do once I get the “Gather Food” cards?
Friday night,  October 30^th each family will be take their cards and invite their neighbors join in The Great Gateway Gathering.  The instructions for their neighbors will simply be to fill a bag with food they are donating to the food pantry and leave it out front on Halloween night.  Then as Gateway families are out trick or treating, they will pick the food donations up.  Simple, right?

Do I have to do this with family?
This is your opportunity to serve together and let others (especially kids) experience the joy of serving.  We encourage you to invite others in your small group, friends or neighbors to serve along with you on Halloween night.

I’m in!  What’s next?
Spread the word to others about The Great Gateway Gathering and consider inviting others to serve with you on Halloween night!  Don’t forget…Be ready on Sunday, October 25^th to pick up your cards in the KQ Lobby!
