Our church does not have Sunday night service.
Tonight they did "trunk or treat."
The street in front of church was blocked off and people parked there and gave out candy which we have been collecting at church for the past few weeks. I don't know how well this went because we did not go. We stayed at home and gave out hundreds of candy bars to the children who came to "trick or treat."
Our children are grown and have children of their own. When our children were younger we went out trick or treating in our neighborhood with them in a supervisory capacity. As they got older they would go out by themselves. All candy was brought home, dumped into one pile, checked and sorted through. Anything unwrapped or home made or that looked suspicious was thrown away. Our kids "shared the wealth." Everything was shared with one another and for several days they would take some candy in their lunches to school.
Of course Mom and Dad got their share also.
Our grandkids go trick or treating with their parents (our kids).
We know about the pagan origins of Halloween, Easter, and Christmas but they were always fun times at our house and our kids learned about Jesus.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

We don't celebrate Halloween. No trick or treaters at my house - I guess we have a reputation in the neighborhood. Ha!
We did have a huge Fall Fest at church last night for the kids, which we advertise as an alternative to Halloween. It had lots of candy, party-jumpers, a rock wall, and all kinds of stuff. No costumes, but just lots of good clean fun.
