Kids Harvest Party

This Friday from 6:30 to 9:00 we are having our Kids Harvest Party, in the gym.
Please invite kids that you know.

Comment on Halloween and Harvest Parties:
The history of Halloween spans many centuries and has Christian and pagan mixes. It used to be known as All Hollows Eve or All Saints Day. It has changed allot over the years. Today, however there are many Christians, including myself, that don't feel it is right to celebrate Halloween. Although some parts may be harmless, the way our culture takes this time to celebrate death and gore is not something I want to partake in. We can't watch a commercial or even some kid shows without seeing zombies and ghosts.
Therefore, my purpose and goal for our Harvest Party is twofold: One is for kids to have a fun and safe alternative that celebrates the blessings of God and not death. The second is to be an outreach. By church kids inviting their friends we can get them into church and be a positive influence. In addition to games and candy we are have the Way Of The Master booth and we will be playing Christian music. We are also not allowing any scary or bloody costumes.
PLEASE pray for the children of our community that they will be safe.

Blessings to you and your family!
Pastor Earl
