Random Ramblings: Follow up on Trunk or Treat

I have recently decided that I will write about whatever floats my boat on Fridays. Today is Friday, so today is that day.

I decided today, now that Halloween is all said and done, that I would follow up on our Trunk or Treat. It was a rainy night so instead of having trick or treating outside we moved everything indoors. I was expecting our usual crowd - the 25 that come on Wednesday nights plus the extra 15 that come on Sundays but not on Wednesdays. I was amazed when 15 minutes before start time we had a crowded hallway waiting to begin. I think there had to be 100 children there plus their families. It was amazing. They all had heard about it from friends and had been wanting to see our church and meet the people there. I don't think one person was disappointed. I am just so so glad that I had enough candy to pass out!

I think that this really taught me about how the simple things can become big things. God was moving through that crowd. We were all happy to be there and spend time with each other, and learn about each other. We had so many age groups represented just to celebrate Halloween. It was awesome. Sometimes we don't need tons of things to make something perfect. God can use what we have and make it great, even if it is just costumes, candy, and crafts.

Trunk or Treat

Halloween is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate Halloween with our kids than to have a Trunk or Treat! We are having our first annual Trunk or Treat this Wednesday to provide our church community a safe place to wear costumes, get candy, make crafts, and to fellowship together. The various adult Sunday school classes will be there with various decorated cars and cookies and candy! I am so excited that we will be having a true intergenerational event. It is always a blessing when the various age groups get together, something great always happens. I hope that your church family will partake in this fun holiday by nurturing your children's creativity and showing them the fun and the love of our Creator.
