Upcoming events.

Scary to Be Hungry
We have run a scary to be hungry campaign for the past several years in October one of the reasons we do this is October is a very low month at the food bank and they are still serving the same amount of folks and trying to gear up for the holiday rush where they will receive donations but also an uptick in their clients around the holidays. So October is a great month for us to collect those non perishable high protein items and restock the food bank before the holidays arrive. Please bring in your items all month long in October we will have ‘scary’ barrels in the church lobby and in the marketplace!

Candy Collection
Anona’s annual Trunk or Treat is right around the corner, and we’re so excited to welcome our community for an evening of fun, fellowship, and lots of sweet treats!
To make the night extra special for the kids, we’re asking for candy donations. If you’d like to help, please bring bags of individually wrapped candy and drop them off in the collection bins located lobby.
Every donation—big or small—helps us share joy with families in our community. Thank you for partnering with us to make Trunk or Treat a safe and memorable event for all!

Trunk or Treat
Join us for Trunk or Treat! Bring the whole family for a fun-filled evening of costumes, candy, and creatively decorated car trunks. Safe, festive, and perfect for all ages.

Socktember
September is becoming SOCKTEMBER here at Anona so we can remember to collect lots of NEW socks for needy students this Fall. Our partners at Clothes to Kids give each student five new pairs of socks (along with five new pairs of underwear and five sets of summer clothes to cover 5 school days of clean clothes). Often families do not have access to washers and dryers during the week so covering five school days is very important! All sizes K-12th grade are needed, no show socks are favorites, darker colors preferred for boys. Collection points in the Main Lobby (yes come visit!) Monetary donations to missions are also much appreciated!

Chick-Fil-A Night
Join us at Chick-Fil-A on August 4th from 5:30-7:00pm as we enjoy good food and company as a portion of the proceeds will go towards Residing Hope.

Lenten All-Ages Study
Join us on Wednesday evenings this Lenten season for a time of fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. The evening begins with an optional, open-house-style dinner, providing an opportunity to connect before we break into age-specific Bible studies. Programs are available for children as young as six months through adulthood, and registration is required.
This year, we’ll explore The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin. Through compelling storytelling and biblical insight, Berlin brings to life the experiences of those closest to Jesus in his final days. Rather than focusing on loss, this study emphasizes themes of new life and redemption.
Walk alongside Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they navigate the sorrow of Jesus’ death and the unexpected joy of his resurrection. We’ll also journey with Paul, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and others whose lives were transformed by the risen Christ.
Whether you can join us for one night or all five weeks, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful journey toward Easter.
