Caramel Candy
In November, we start the process of stir, stir, stir and wrap, wrap, wrap. Approximately 2,000 pounds of homemade caramel candy are made. Then we sell, sell, sell! Another all out effort of the church family makes this a success!

Fall Dinner (formerly known as the Hometown Bazaar)
For two days in October the entire church comes together to provide continuous turkey and ham dinners with all the trimmings. A variety of baked goods are also available.
Family Outings
The Church and Community Team sponsors quarterly family outings to promote fun and fellowship outside the church environment. In addition, quarterly carry-ins are held after second service.
Festival of Flight
The Heritage of Flight Festival and Airplane Parade is held the first weekend of October each year in New Carlisle. FUMC participates with games, face-painting and a big bouncy slide provided free of charge for the kids who visit the festival on Friday night. The kids (and adults) have a great time! The NOW team bakes lots of yummy treats for a bake sale to raise funds for missions.

Rummage Sale
In the spring and fall we have a church rummage sale. Everyone goes through their attics and basements to supply items for the sale. All the proceeds are used for missions and projects within and outside the church.
