Churches and Halloween

[KayTheCurler]

As a child in the UK Halloween was a time many people stayed safely at home. Local churches connected it to Bad Spirits that should be avoided.
In Canada it had become more of a fun time for many. Churches still viewed it as something negative. Sime taught that Christian chhildren should not be allowed to dress as ghosts and other scary things.O.

This year one local church is offering a Halloween party. They are encouragung dressing up and will be feeding lots of umhealthy food.

I;m windering how Halloween plays out where you live.

At my former congregation, the parking lot was set up for trick or treating prior to the Sunday service. Fun time. People gave out candy from their cars and some folks put up decorations.

The Sunday school kids all came early for the event and the neighborhood kids were invited. We got lots of kids from the general area.

Why do you assume that we all live in Canada?
