Looking for a fun, safe, and joy-filled way to celebrate fall with your family? Join us for Trunk or Treat at First United Methodist Church in LaGrange. This free community event is packed with candy, games, surprises, and memory-making moments for kids of all ages.
Whether you’re a longtime FUMC family or brand new to our church, this is the perfect way to enjoy the season, meet new friends, and make the most of an October afternoon.
Here are just a few reasons you won’t want to miss it.
1. Trick-or-Treating from Decorated Trunks
It’s not Halloween without candy — and we’ve got plenty of it. Volunteers from the church and community will be decorating their cars with fun, kid-friendly themes and handing out treats. It’s a safe, walkable way for kids to show off their costumes and fill their bags with goodies.
2. Ride the Train
Climb aboard our mini train for a fun ride around the parking lot. It’s always a favorite, and a perfect break between trunks and games. Whether your child wants to ride once or five times, it’s all part of the experience.
3. The Jungle Bus
Our friends at The Jungle Bus are back. This mobile reading adventure is filled with books your little ones can keep forever! It’s a fun, hands-on break from traditional trick-or-treating.
4. The Cake Walk
A classic fall carnival favorite. Step in time to music, and if you land on the lucky number, you’ll win a sweet prize. Cakes, cupcakes, and other treats are up for grabs — and you don’t need to be a kid to enjoy it.
5. Games, Raffles, & More
Beyond candy, there’s plenty to do. Enjoy a community scavenger hunt, stop by the drink booth, and enter our raffle for a chance to win a prize. Every corner of the parking lot has something new to explore.
6. Family Photo Booth
Come dressed in costume and snap a photo at our family photo booth. Whether you’re coordinating outfits or going classic with ghosts and pumpkins, it’s the perfect spot to capture the moment.
7. A Visit from the LaGrange Fire Department
Kids can meet real-life heroes and get an up-close look at a fire truck, courtesy of the LaGrange Fire Department. It’s a great chance for photos, high-fives, and community connection.
