Somerville Church of God to host Kid’s Fun Day
I hope everyone had a great week. The days are getting shorter, which means winter is just around the corner. I hope all of the kids, young and old alike, had a great Halloween.
Somerville Assembly had a great fun night on Saturday. They hosted lots of activities for the kids including face painting, bobbing for apples and a hayride. Everyone was chilled to the bone when we arrived back at the church after the hayride. We were thankful that those who stayed behind met us with hot chocolate.
The fun night at Somerville Baptist Church was also a big success. Everyone who attended enjoyed lots of games, food and fun.
A fun day for kids will be held at Somerville Church of God on Sat., Nov. 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pastor Michael Gunter and members of the church invite everyone to attend.
