We desire that every member of Metro Life Church know the great benefit there is to living life in the Community. Go to metrolife.org/community to sign up for a Community Group this Fall Term!
Funtoberfest: City Wide Event at Lake Concord
October 21, 2023
4:00pm – 7:00pm
Location: 95 Triplet Lake Dr, Casselberry, FL 32707
In 2018 we held our last Funtoberfest. This event was a citywide family-friendly Halloween alternative event. It included trunk-or-treating, a costume contest, bounce houses, free food, carnival games, and much more. The event was coordinated by 5 local churches and saw thousands of people attend.
After a 5 year break, we are excited to announce that Funtoberfest is back!!
To pull off this incredible event Metro Life Church will need over 130 volunteers provided by 7 local Casselberry churches. Which means, we need you!
We hope to share the love of Christ with the people who live around our church buildings. Not only will we organize an excellent and fun event but we will also seek to share the good news of Jesus. We hope to have a team of volunteers who have gone through the Evangelism Explosion Training to take spiritual surveys and share their own testimonies. We also plan on having a Prayer Tent and extending invites to multiple community-aimed church events happening in the weeks after Funtoberfest.
We need a big showing of volunteers to make this all happen. Will you consider signing up now so we know what we can accomplish?

Parenting In A Digital Age
November 3, 2023
6:30pm – 8:00pm
Location: 910 S. Winter Park Drive, Casselberry, FL 32707
Parenting is both a wonderful and difficult responsibility. Our kids didn't come with an instruction manual and somehow we were expected to know what to do the moment we left the hospital. The truth is, we are figuring this out as we go. And yet, we still have this incredible privilege to parent. Not only is that scary on its own, but now we have to navigate all sorts of challenging forms of technology. Whether we have toddlers, kids in grade school, or teenagers, they are all interacting with screens somewhere. How do we set helpful limits for our kids? What do I do when my kid is on an app I've never heard of? How do I protect them from strangers and dangerous information when they carry a smartphone?
Wouldn't it be great if we could get some guidance and principles that would help us walk through this? That is why we are taking one night to explore how to parent in a digital age. Join us in the Chapel for pizza, a short presentation of principles and tools, and a Q&A with some parents who have had to wrestle through these questions too.
Registration is $5 per person (Children under 3 are free). Childcare is provided during the event. Pizza is served at 6:30 sharp.

Light Up Metro Life Church
November 17, 2023
7:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: 910 S. Winter Park Drive, Casselberry, FL 32707
Join us as we gather to illuminate Metro Life and ring in the Christmas Season. More than just a night to get dressed up, or dessert reception. This is a night of envisioning through the New Year and reflecting on all that God has done through us.
There'll be some fun surprises along the way as well.
This church-wide fellowship event is for those 13 years old and up. Childcare is provided for those younger - they’ll have their own fun night!
Tickets are per individual - $10 with $25 max per family.
Neighbor To Neighbor
November 18, 2023
8:00am – 12:00pm
Location: 4921 S US Hwy 17 92, Casselberry, Florida 32707
What do 6 local churches in Casselberry have in common? A whole lot! We have one Savior. One Spirit. One gospel. And we truly are a part of the one Church.
Neighbor to Neighbor has become a rallying point within our community where followers of Jesus come together and serve real needs. And we want you there too!
Join us as we serve households within our community that through various different situations need help with their lawn care. In one morning, we are able to renew a dozen yards within our community. It might seem like a small thing, but to the families that are in need, their neighbors, and the city, it means the world.
And, it's not a scheduling error that this event falls on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. As followers of Jesus, we have every reason to be thankful. So join us as we abound in thanksgiving and by God's grace spread it to others. It is our prayer that those we serve will be able to see the true source of our joy.
So brothers and sisters, would you consider right now if you can join us on November 18th? We will serve, alongside other local churches, by doing various yard work at homes throughout our city. And by God's grace, we will proclaim the good news of Jesus to those we serve. Would you please consider registering yourself and your family below?
