Fire Trucks and Treats: Sharing HOPE in Our Community
October 31, 2026

Costumes, candy, fire trucks, and smiles everywhere! Watersmeet’s annual Fire Trucks and Treats event brought out the little ghosts, goblins, superheroes, and princesses for an afternoon of family fun, and Hope Lutheran Church was delighted to be part of the festivities once again! With treat bags, candy, balloons, and trinkets ready along with welcoming smiles, our volunteers greeted over 130 children and their families, joining other local businesses and community organizations in making this a special day for everyone.

A heartfelt thank-you goes out to our 13 volunteers who generously gave their time and energy to make our participation possible! Events like these provide a wonderful opportunity for Hope Lutheran Church to be a visible and welcoming presence in our community. While the children may come for the candy, we pray that the kindness and joy they encounter will serve as a small reflection of the greater gift we have received in Christ Jesus. What a blessing it is to share in the life of our community and extend His love to those around us!
