April Fool's
Fest
April Fool's Fest is an annual
church-wide talent, er, Variety Show! The ninth
annual show will be in April 2008. The event is coordinated by members that are active in the
church's music ministries. Tickets are sold in advance and proceeds are used to
buy items that enhance our music ministries, like instruments, risers, and sound
equipment. The event usually sells
out in advance. Start planning your act and buy your tickets early! Get
ready to laugh and to enjoy an evening of fellowship. For more information,
send an e-mail message to AprilFoolsFest@suncreekumc.org.

Trunk or Treat
We have an annual tradition of offering an event know as Trunk or Treat. Decorated cars and trucks are parked in a designated area and children visit the vehicles
for treats. |

All-Church Picnic
We gather at least once a year to enjoy an all church picnic. These are typically held under the Pecan trees at the church. However, we have also gone off-site to some more rural settings. |

From time to time, we invite all
church members to join us for a fun event away from church. Pictured above

game. Our Chancel Choir sang the National
Anthem. (The Frisco RoughRiders are the new Double-A affiliate of the Texas
Rangers. ) |

From time to
time, we gather for a games night at the church. Watch the announcements in
the Sunday bulletin and the newsletter for information about these fellowship
events.
Ongoing Activities
Third Saturday Dinner Groups
Third Saturday Dinner Groups is a festive monthly gathering of small groups of Suncreek members to
share a meal and cheerful companionship. This is a great way to meet new and
“old” members of SUMC. Dinners are held the 3rd Saturday of the month at
members’ homes. For more information or to attend, e-mail ThirdSaturday@suncreekumc.org.
Church
League Sports Teams
A great way to
build friendships with other church members and have some great active fun is to
join one of our sports teams. Allen Parks and Recreation Department offers
sports leagues in softball, volleyball and basketball. The minimum age required
to participate in the leagues is fifteen. Suncreek UMC has a long history of
fielding softball teams in this league. We have the opportunity to have
basketball and volleyball teams if there is significant interest. If you want
to join one of our teams or are seeking more information, contact Phil Taylor at sports@suncreekumc.org.
