We will be having a "Harvest Party" however we call it Kid's Fun Fest. I guess as we see it, it is a great oppurtunity for outreach to our neighbors. Not to mention providing a safe place for the kids to come to. We are doing carnival games and passing out pre-made bags of candy with info about the church in it. To tell you the truth, there is not many times when people willingly come up to a church without being invited and you usually see that during Halloween.
I know there is a lot of "controversy" regarding Halloween but we see it as a great time of outreach. We are reclaiming the night for God. Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Christmas Trees or Easter Eggs as they have "Earth"/ancient religious origins also? --- Mark W Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Keep us in prayer.
