Youth/Young Adult Halloween Gathering

We will have a socially-distant, outdoor, youth and young adult gathering at Brookmeade on October 31st at 5 pm!  We will enjoy an outdoor Halloween movie of the group’s choosing, eat s’mores and roast hot dogs over the fire, and enjoy time together under the stars.  Come dressed up for Halloween (optional) and bring a chair and something warm to wear while we watch a movie together.  Our last gathering was delightful and this one will be too! If you’d like to help with setup or volunteer, please let us know and arrive at 4:30 pm.  If you’d like to help with food or make something yummy for the event, please email brookmeade@comcast.net! 
Happy Halloween!!! 🕷
