By Travis Walker, First Family Church, Ankeny
We hold the First Family Church Fall Festival in Ankeny each October. The goal is to use the Halloween season as an opportunity for our church members to extend an invitation to our community. We desire to continue to show our community that we love them and desire for them to come to our church for their spiritual needs. This event has continued to accomplish this goal. This year, we believe that more than 500 neighbors came to our event and enjoyed 20 car trunks filled with treats, food trucks, a photo booth, and kids activities. Many folks we had never met before came to our event and received an invitation to our church. Events like this continue to show our community that we love them.
