Fall Festival 2022
The candy wrappers and cheese puff dust has settled! Fall Festival 2022 was a turbulent and rousing success! Over 900 people visited the festival and about half were unchurched! Between 42,000 pieces of candy, well over 100 volunteers, 30+ games and booths, 4 decorated sections, and 2 days of setup, we can praise God for 1 more salvation! That’s right! Amongst the many conversations, interactions, and prayers between our Evangelism and Prayer Teams, we know of one more soul saved for Christ! Talk about Mondays, right?! But really, we are so thrilled to see the prayer and work that went into the Fall Festival has had such a spiritual and life-changing impact. Thank you to all our volunteers that served and played with a smile. It was a blast watching you all have so much fun with the kids.
We are following up with festival goers that stated in their registration that they would like to know more about Jesus. If you would like to become part of this team, please email stacyt@hoffmantown.org. Please keep the health of congregates in your prayers—we found sickness was making its rounds through the volunteers!
