On November 1, Lutheran South’s National Honor Society hosted a “Trunk or Treat” event for the children of CFNA. The idea was to provide an opportunity for CFNA students to come and safely trick or treat and have fun with the students of Lutheran South. Trunk or Treat is an event where people decorate the back of their cars and pass candy out to trick or treaters. At the last minute, however, the event had to be moved inside due to weather. No problem! The people who were supposed to decorate cars ended up decorating doorways inside Lutheran South.

After the CFNA students arrived, they were brought into the cafeteria to enjoy pizza and apple slices with caramel. A generous and thoughtful family brought their apple press to the event and made fresh-pressed apple cider for the kids. In addition to the cider, lemonade and water were also served.

After eating, several Lutheran High students shared a devotional skit that focused on how God has a bigger and greater plan for each of us that we need to trust and follow. The children were then given bags and sent on their way to trick or treat at 20 decorated doorways. Additionally, there was a photo booth where the CFNA guests could dress up and use props to pose for photos.

The event was so fun to organize and plan but took a lot of work. President of the Lutheran South National Honor Society, Avery Starnes, noted, “It took a lot of helpers and planning to make it all come together, but it turned out to be a great success. Everyone involved had a smile the whole night!” Because of the many hours of preparation and numerous volunteers, the event turned out to be yet another great opportunity of fellowship between Lutheran South and the children of CFNA.

One of the trunk makers, Odessa Campbell, said, “I love being able to help out and make trunks for these kids. I had so much fun, and it warmed my heart to see all of the younger kids enjoying the night.” The smiles on the kids’ faces said it all, and we are so thankful they were able to enjoy this event.
