Beloved MPUC Church Community, You are invited to our Fall Festival on September 24, 2023, 11 am - 1 pm. It’s a BIG party to celebrate all the goodness here at church, and we are inviting the neighborhood and Macalester Plymouth Preschool families to join in the fun. It’s a revamping of what we used to call Rally Sunday. As a church, we boldly live out our Extravagant Welcome and our Surprising Hospitality. It’s a way for us to showcase our radically inclusive progressive Christianity and delight in this opportunity for friend-raising and fund-raising opportunities.

And we need all of us to jump in to make the Fall Festival (shall we call it our First Annual Fall Festival?!) a success! We’ll have Walking Tacos provided by our Fellowship Ministry Team, BINGO (possibly Drag Queen BINGO, stay tuned for more information), Split the Pot Raffle, Bouncy House, Petting Zoo (Hopefully - we need a sponsor here!), Face Painting, Lawn Games, and live music.

How can you help?

We need Donations and/or Sponsorships for our Bouncy House, Drag Queen BINGO hosts, Petting Zoo, and Prizes for BINGO. Please contact Cynthia if you are willing to help fund these activities.

Do you have a SnowCone Making Machine or CottonCandy Machine or Popcorn Machine we can borrow for the Fall Festival? Please contact Cynthia.

Be part of the Fall Festival Ministry Team to help plan, organize, and facilitate. Contact Cynthia to be part of the fun.

And, of course, church, we all need to share this good news with our family and friends. Thank you!
