Trunk-Or-Treat Parking Lot Party
Monday, October 31, 2022 | 5:00 to 7:00 pm
Trunk Or Treat at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Joplin has become a neighborhood tradition that you won’t want to miss! More than 1,000 children and their families come to our church and school parking lot at 26th and Connecticut for free candy and games, costume contests and inflatables, plus great music and more!
COME INSIDE AND EAT!
Free Hot Dogs, Frito Pie and Chili with all the fixins’ prepared by Immanuel’s Elders! Served in the Martin Luther School gym until the food runs out. Come on in and enjoy a meal “on us.”
Decorate A Trunk and Join Us!
At Trunk-Or-Treat, church members and school families decorate the trunks of their cars to create a festive mood. Children “trick-or-treat” at each trunk and receive a safe, sweet treat and have a great time in a family-friendly environment. Visitors are invited to vote for their favorite trunk of the night. By the way, the evening is totally free.
This year our guests will enjoy the addition of several new carnival-style games, plus face painting and pumpkins to decorate and take home too! Bouncing around on the new, large inflatables is sure to be a big hit too! Kids will have the opportunity every 30 minutes throughout the evening to show off their costumes and possibly win a gift card prize.
PLEASE USE 26th STREET PARKING LOTS!
The Connecticut Ave parking lot entrances will be CLOSED for Trunk-or-Treat. Use our 26th Street parking lot. We also have permission to use the large Church of Christ parking lot across the way.

Immanuel Lutheran Church is “Growing To Serve” because of the love that Jesus has shown to us. We want to share His love by serving our community in a variety of ways, including Trunk-Or-Treat.
Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” -John 8:12
