Harvest Fest
Saturday, October 4th

Harvest Fest this year celebrates 10 years of our Annual Event which is a FREE family-friendly community celebration!
Annual Costume Contest will be held at 2:30 pm, with registration opening at 2 pm. There will be prize baskets for the First Place winners for Children, Teens, Adults, and Pets after the Annual Costume Parade Around the Church.
The Waffle Miracle Food Truck will be with us as well with delicious foods available for purchase!
If the weather holds, events will be outside and under our canopy if weather permits, otherwise we will move the festivities inside.
There will be fun and games including Open Mic, Corn Hole, Guess How Many Candy Corn in the Jar Game, a visit from the Cranesville Fire Department, goods to peruse from vendors, a Haunted Photo Booth, our Annual Traditional Pumpkin Roll, and we'll be collecting non-perishable food items for the Albion Blessing Box!
We're also gladly accepting donations of prizes for our winners!
Amazing activities going on during the Harvest Fest and vendors are still being added, so be sure to like the event and follow the page for updates!
Join us for our Fall Movie Night at The Little Church on the Hill, where we'll be screening "Hocus Pocus 2!" You are invited to bring pillows, blankets, and your favorite refreshments to enjoy the movie inside The Little Church on the Hill!
This will be a fun way to finish off the evening following our Harvest Fest!
This event is part of the second year of our series of movie nights made possible by grants we received for equipment and movie licensure!
This is a free family friendly event, where there will also be an opportunity to purchase tickets for our Quarterly Raffle for $1 each.
Admission and refreshments are free, including our freshly popped popcorn, but donations are always gladly accepted and go towards the ongoing maintenance, restoration, and preservation of the Historic Little Church on the Hill by The Elk Creek Township Historical Society.
Paranormal Presentation
Friday, October 24th
7-9 PM
James McCann from A.P.G./E.C.P. will join us for his Annual October "Spooky Time" Presentation! James is no stranger to Little Church and was the first Speaker that we've had on a regular basis, which sparked the idea for the full Speaker Series! James will present on the science of Paranormal Investigation, the equipment involved, share his latest findings, and sharing sound clips and photos from investigations. There will also be time for Q & A.
The event is planned to be held in person with a Live Feed available on our Facebook Page.
This event has a suggested donation for admission of $3 per person. James will also have additional merchandise available for purchase.
Additional Donations made to the church are always appreciated and go directly towards the continuing maintenance, restoration, and preservation of The Little Church on the Hill by The Elk Creek Township Historical Society. Enjoy the season with us while enjoying one of our most popular events!
