Connection Church Shoe Sale for Lottie & “Spooktacular”
Ladies from Connection Church, Belle Fourche, joined together to clean out their closets in the month of November in order to support the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Several members donated shoes, and other ladies volunteered to man the Nov. 12 sale from 9 to 11 a.m. on a cold, winter morning. Shoes were sold at the blanket price of $5 a pair, and all proceeds went to the LMCO following the sale.
Earlier this fall, The Belle Fourche Community Rec Center was able to hold its traditional “Spooktacular” Celebration this year after a hiatus during covid. This event is widely attended by members of the community, and various community groups and businesses set up booths at “Spooktacular” in order to engage the community.
Connection Church Belle Fourche was able to set up a booth with candy give aways, gospel tracts, and a bouncy house for children to experience. Volunteers from the church helped man the candy table and bouncy house. Some volunteers chose to be very intentional about sharing the gospel message, including one volunteer who used cards that worked as an optical illusion, concluding with the message, “definitely confusing but so can life be. One thing is for sure and that is Jesus loves you very much.” Attendees were then given the optical illusion cards, which had a Gospel message on the back. Church members and those involved were pleased with the opportunity to interact with so many members of the community and show them that they were loved by Connection Church. Turn-out was incredible, with long lines of attendees during most of the event.
