First United Methodist Church of Ventura hosted and co-sponsored a Harvest Festival with Happy Ventures Pre School, which is co-located on church grounds and was held on Oct.30. A complementary spaghetti supper, activities, face painting and games with prizes, set up in Trotter Hall were a big hit.
A Trunk or Treat passing out mountains of candy was available in the facility’s parking lot. To complete the package a Haunted House, decorated and staffed by the church’s youth group was presented.
The culmination of the event was a drawing for gift bags conducted by the church’s pastor, The Rev. Jane Hetherington-Rauth. This first annual Harvest Festival was the brainchild of Pastor Jane who is new to the Ventura area.
First United Methodist Church has two Sunday services, 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. You are encouraged to visit the church’s web site, www.fumcventura.org as well as the Happy Ventures Pre School web site, www.happyventurespreschool.com.
