Wayside Presbyterian Church, 600 Stony Battery Road, Landisville, has announced that IGNITE, its Wednesday evening program, will return on Oct. 7 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for students in third through 12th grades. Students will be separated into small groups for third- through fifth-graders and sixth- through 12th-graders. Each weekly gathering will include dinner, activities, conversation, and time to build friendships. Children and youths from the community are invited to participate.

Also beginning this fall is Family Night, a new once-a-month gathering designed for families and friends of all ages. The first event is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Each month will offer a different opportunity to spend time together, meet new people, and build connections. Activities may include games, hands-on projects, community service, and seasonal activities. Light refreshments will be provided. Family Night is designed to be relaxed and welcoming.

Both IGNITE and Family Night reflect Wayside's desire to build stronger connections among families and throughout the surrounding community. To register for either program, visit http://www.waysidepc.org.
