Trunk or Treat & Dark Knight Terror 10.23.13

This weekend at EYC, October 27, we will be doing Trunk or Treat.  We ask that as many of you as possible participate so that the younger members of the St. John's Community are able to have a fun event to attend.  If you have a car, please bring it and decorate your trunk.  If you do not have a car, or cannot drive, that's ok as well.  We have cars that you can decorate!  Those of you that wish to decorate we ask that you meet in the St. John's parking lot at 3 pm.  The event will begin at 4pm and conclude at 6 pm.  Afterwards – in lieu of Youth Group – we will be going to the Dark Knight Terror Trail.  We will be enjoying on attraction, and then grabbing something to eat.  Our Very own Allyson and Emma Hurst will be playing zombies at the event!  Please, bring friends.  We are in need chaperones for this event.  The ministry of a chaperone is very important to St. John's EYC.
The Dark Knight Terror Trail is located just off Percival Rd, also known as Ft. Jackson Road, only 5 or 6 minutes from Clemson Rd; just across the Kershaw Country line.  If you’re on I-20, the Trail is located between Spears Creek Church Rd (Exit 82), and White Pond Rd (Exit 87).

SCarowinds Cancelled 10.16.13

Hello All,
Due to the lack of interest in this Friday’s event, SCarowinds, we will have to cancel the event.  For those who have paid for their ticket, we will reimburse your money.  I would like to remind you we will be doing a haunted ghost tour on October 27, which will be free of cost.  I again apologize, and look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.


Thanks,
Chad.
