Mark Twain once said, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Our Orange County version of that witticism is probably that some of our hottest, summer-like days fall smack in the middle of fall.

Shorts and beach weather aside, make no mistake – fall is here – and this weekend we will be celebrating to the fullest:

Friday night, we’re hosting Date Night to give couples an opportunity connect while the kids stay with our Children’s Ministry for fall-themed activities. Kids are invited to wear a costume, although nothing scary or gory, please.

On Sunday, Pumpkin Fest will be taking over the patio with games, photo booth and a pumpkin patch after each of our three services at 9a, 11a, and 5p.
