The Fall Festival is free, and it is great fun for families!

Mission Arlington’s annual Fall Festival is around the corner. This is a free event designed as a family-friendly alternative to Halloween-oriented activities.  We are working on the set-up now, but it all comes together on Saturday, October 29th, from Noon to 4:00 p.m.
The event is free, and open to the community. Children come with their families. Mission Arlington^® Bible study leaders will pick up and transport their children to and from the event (permission slips required). Many children wear costumes and many don’t. Either way is great with us, and whether in fun costumes or normal clothing, CHILDREN ALWAYS HAVE FUN!  No scary costumes, please.

Children who attend this event will enjoy bouncy houses, a hay ride,  a huge carnival filled with prizes, and a hot lunch cooked and served by Mission Arlington^® volunteers.

“Bouncy Houses” and their slides are always a big hit at the Fall Festivals each year!

We need volunteers!

1. Individuals, families, and/or teams are needed as volunteers for this event;
2. Times to help: You can help between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The actual festival happens from noon to 4 p.m., but we also need help for set-up and clean up.
3. Volunteer areas: Volunteers assist in many different areas throughout the day – from carnival booths, to serving food, to hay rides, and so much more.
4. Please call Jim at 817-704-6143 if you or your team would like to volunteer.

We need candy, please!

Every child who attends will receive a free bag of candy.  We are currently collecting individually wrapped bags of candy for this event. Please drop the candy by the Mission Offices anytime up through Saturday, October 29th, and we will take it to the festival for the kids.

This carnival is truly a lot of fun. Last year nearly 3,000 children with their families join in. We are looking forward to another great carnival this year. Please keep this event in your prayers.
