Trunk or Treat

This year marked the first ever Trunk or Treat at Oakdale Baptist Church, and by all accounts it was a success with hundreds in attendance.  The Lord provided the PERFECT fall weather for our outdoor event:  clear skies and just chilly enough to feel like autumn.

Kudos to the folks who did trunks tonight!  To mine and Tim's delight, many of the trunks had a theme, and people went all-out decorating...

Joy manned the "Duck Dynasty" trunk, and even quacked at those who were given candy...

Susan had the Purple People Trunk...

And ayone who knows Kim's love of the Saints wouldn't be surprised by her Saints-themed trunk...

Susie's trunk was an open mouth of candy.  Quite creative.

Thomas had a good old-fashioned, country trunk...

While Aaron - our Upward Basketball Director - took this opportunity to hand-out Upward information for Monday's evaluations at his trunk...

Robert and Rebecca's trunk indicates that they're fans of some college or another, but I'm a little fuzzy about which one it is.  :)

Rumor has it that UNC fans were receiving extra candy at the other trunks.

But that claim can neither be denied nor confirmed.

But perhaps the cutest trunk award goes to Angela, who at 9 months pregnant brought the sweetest accessory: soon-to-be-born Baby Wyatt.

  The concessions volunteers cooked and handed-out hundreds of hot dogs and countless chips...

 And Jeff proved that you can use absolutely anything for the glory of God - 

even your tractor.

 

 

Can you believe that in 41 years, Tim Barnette has never learned how to do a cake walk???  Angie Ruffin runs a good one, and she taught Tim how it's done.

We appreciated the youth group, who ran carnival games in the gym.

Our youth pastor TJ - a seminary student who commutes from Southeastern - and his wife Anna have been such a blessing since they joined us early in the summer...

Tim's favorite costume of the evening had to be...

the boy who came dressed as bacon.  Yum.

Great job by all at OBC Trunk or Treat 2014!
