Halloween - what would Jesus do?

Halloween is on the way, so now is a great time to start thinking about how you and your house or family are going to respond this year. Here's a handful of resources that will hopefully help you to do that:

Our friends at Dundonald church in London have produced this really helpful video containing some real wisdom about how to think, and especially how to help our children to think about the whole thing.



If you want to get hold of leaflets like the ones Ed mentions in this video 10ofthose and thegoodbookcompany both have good selections. And if you'd like to organise some kind of 'Light Party' - speak to one of your church elders who'd be happy to link you up with others and help to make it happen.

Another helpful look at the subject is this blog post Should Christians celebrate Halloween?

And for a poetic take on the event and some of the history behind trick or treating - check out Glen Scrivener's video below.
