You're invited to a Trunk-or-Treat and a Jonah-themed Messy Church! We will have an outdoor Trunk-or-Treat, indoor crafts, community service projects, storytelling, music, and a free dinner! Join us right at 4:00 PM on Saturday, November 2. This event is brought to you by the 12 churches of the Hudson Valley Cooperative Parish of the United Methodist Church.
All ages are invited, from children to senior citizens. Come be part of the fun! A parent or other responsible adult must stay with children and teens attending (this is not a drop-off event).

LOCATION: Saint James United Methodist Church - on the corner of Fair and Pearl Streets in Kingston, NY. Please park at the Ulster County Parking lot on Pearl Street. This is next to the church's parking lot (29 Pearl Street) where we will have the Trunk-or-Treat. Enter the church building for Messy Church from there!
ACCESSIBILITY: The church has an elevator. All Messy Church activities take place on the main (first) floor. Noise-reducing headphones, fidget toys, and gluten-free snacks are available during the crafts hour (the first hour of Messy Church). During the time with storytelling and singing we also have headphones connected to the sound system that can amplify the sound. Quiet spaces for sensory breaks are available -- let a volunteer know if you need assistance.
FOOD ALLERGIES: Do you need a special meal for medical reasons? If so please email [email protected] by the day before the event and we will gladly do our best to provide a meal that works for you. We always have gluten-free and vegetarian options, but appreciate knowing how many people will need those or other variations of the meal. Thank you!
TIMING: Messy Church usually runs from 4-6:30 PM. We spend an hour doing crafts and community service projects (and this time we will also have a trunk-or-treat), then tell a Bible story, sing songs, pray about our joys and concerns, then have dinner together.
QUESTIONS? If you have any questions, need disability-related accommodations, or if there's something else we can do to make you feel welcome and help you participate, please reach out to us at [email protected], at (845) 331-3030 on weekdays, or by a private Facebook message to our page. Thanks!
We look forward to welcoming you to Messy Church!
