Fall events in Peachtree City rarely come sweeter than our Candyland Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Our front lawn and parking lot turned into a colorful candy trail from 5:00 to 8:30 PM. In fact, nearly 100 members, friends, and neighbors from the community joined us for an evening of joy and fellowship. This family night is one of our favorite fall events in Peachtree City each and every year.
A Candyland celebration for every age.
Families arrived to a Candyland-themed party along with decorated trunks and plenty of sweet treats. Meanwhile, the inflatable and lawn games kept the youngest guests bouncing and laughing all evening. Moreover, creative trunk decorations made every stop feel like a new square on the game board where kids had to walk the plank, tell jokes, and complete challenges for goodies. Psalm 34:8 invites us to taste and see that the Lord is good, and the evening offered a sweet reminder.
Our annual chili cook-off.
Our annual chili cook-off returned with a table full of slow-simmered recipes from our church family. Additionally, volunteers brought toppings and sides so every bowl came out just right. Guests sampled each pot and voted for their favorites. In the end, Ivy, one of our tweens, took home the prize for Tastiest Chili.
Pumpkins, trunks, and prizes.
Families also brought pumpkins they carved together at home for our Pumpkin Carving Contest. Likewise, guests voted for their Fan-Favorite Decorated Trunk. Congratulations to LouLou, one of our Middle School students, for Best Carved Pumpkin and the McNichols family for Fan-Favorite Decorated Trunk! We also collected several donations for the i58 mission in Senoia.
The families who made it happen.
David and Nikki Barnett and Jake and Amber Acree organized this year’s Trunk-or-Treat. The Barnetts have children in our Youth Group and Tweens ministries. Likewise, the Acrees have a child in our Jesus’ Lambs group. Because of their planning, this highlight of fall events in Peachtree City ran smoothly from setup to cleanup.
Thank you, church family.
Our volunteer list was overflowing with those who helped with setup, chili, toppings, sides, trunks, and breakdown. We thank every kid who showed up in costume and filled the night with laughter. Furthermore, we thank every volunteer who decorated a trunk, cooked a pot of chili, or stacked chairs at the end. Finally, we thank every family who brought a friend or neighbor along.
Fall events in Peachtree City matter because they open our doors to the neighbors God places around us. Hebrews 10:24 encourages us to stir up one another to love and good works. Therefore, we hope our neighbors join us for the next gathering on our calendar. Upcoming events live on the Church Center calendar, and first-time guests can start their visit online.
