If you've been here at PHUMC for a year or longer, you're familiar with the excitement on the day of our Worship on the Lawn, the fun of the Trick or Treat Trail, and the extreme competitiveness of our Chili Cook-Off.
We will begin with small groups at 9:30 followed by Worship on the Lawn at 10:45 am. Bring a chair and an umbrella for the sun. We will not livestream this service.

We are accepting candy donations for this event. There will be marked bins in the foyers for the bags of candy.
At 6:00 pm, following our Trick or Treat Trail, all are invited inside the Worship Center for our Chili Cook-Off. The winner of the cook-off gets $100 donated to the charity of their choice.
