Not even our little owl this year likes Halloween very much! Tonight we invited some of our friends to an alternative "Halloween" celebration with our church family. We're looking forward to making crafts, healthy snacks and listening to fun Bible stories. Other friends chose other creative ways to reach out to the community in a Christ-centered way tonight.
Trina Schaetz wrote an article in Christian Parenting Today's 2001-OCT issue. She suggests other alternative celebrations at Halloween:
 | Mystery bowling: The family plays a regular game of bowling, but using unusual stances: bowl backwards, bowl with your weak hand, etc. Losers have to add a silly hat, wig, etc. to their costume. |
| Family film festival: The family makes a home movie using a theme like a cowboy story or a science fiction tale. |
| Nature walk: A family walk through a wilderness area, looking for the most beautiful leaf, the smoothest rock, the most interesting stick, etc. |
| Neighborly needs: Have your family volunteer to perform a chore for the neighbors, such as: "cleaning windows, raking leaves, or washing cars together." |
| Host a pumpkin carving party: Invite friends and neighbors to carve pumpkins, each with a single letter from a short Bible verse: e.g. "Jesus is Lord." Then arrange the pumpkins to spell out the phrase in your front yard. 3 From http://www.religioustolerance.org/hallo_ev4.htm |
