I really don’t like Halloween. I’m not really opposed to it on religious grounds, I’m just lazy. I would rather just buy my kids some candy and be done with it. But I see how much they enjoy dressing up and going out for candy so we have been doing Halloween or Trunk-or-Treat at a church.
I read an article this week with an interesting perspective on being a Christian and celebrating Halloween. Please take some time and click here to read about an adjustment of attitude that is needed on both sides of this debate. Then have a safe and happy October 31st, no matter what you do with it!
There was a book at the BSF church I got to read to Jac a couple of times. The Jack-o-Lantern Gospel. Thought it was a great twist on telling the Gospel through Halloween tradition:
