On All Hallow's Eve (Monday October 31st) we observed Halloween at Grace by handing out candy to our neighbors from a table out in front of our church. We wanted to be visible and hospitable in our neightborhood, and we felt this would be a good way to engage with and invite in some of the people who pass by Grace regularly but have probably never met or interacted with any of us.
We connected with 80-90 people -- a mixture of college students and young families -- and handed out bunches of candy as well as information cards about our church. Many more greeted us from their cars.
Thanks to all who supported this project with their help and donations.
May the Spirit be with you!
