Church Pumpkins

Hallowe'en at Christ Church is actually All Hallow's Eve.
The church is lit by the glow of jack-o-lanterns, and the music is spooky (but not too scary). The fifteen-minute worship service features a dramatic reading with a witch and a ghost straight out of the Bible! Afterward, the celebration in the Parish Hall has food, games and fun for all.

Finally, a church that gets it. That is the coolest thing I've ever seen :)

Totally agree.

How cool to see a church embracing the holiday in this way - especially for the kids. Given some of the more devout families I know who have children, it's neat to see a church reassuring kids that it's okay to exercise their imaginations and have some spooky fun.

I think this is fantastic! I was extremely happy when my church decided to do a Halloween mini-carnival last year. It wasn't much, but they didn't try to pretend it was a "Fall Festival" or "Harvest Carnival" or any other PC BS! It was the "Halloween Celebration", plain and simple! We need MORE churches like this!!!

I would love to see that service.
