Love Fall!
Hate Halloween!
BUT, Halloween is a good time for outreach. In years past Halloween was unheard of here in Japan. In recent years it has, sadly, gotten bigger and bigger. Every year brings a mental battle of doing a Halloween out reach or not, but so far, we keep coming to the same conclusion. Halloween is one of our bigger events and the Gospel message can be shared, so Halloween Event it is.
The last few years we have rented a room or the gym at a Bible Camp. This works out well. It give us extra space and it lets people know where the camp is. This year we had nearly 30 people, mostly families.
There were relay games...
There were costumes...
There were snacks & prizes...
There was bobbing for apples (no pictures) & a pinata...
But most of all there was a story of a farmer who brought in a pumpkin, lovingly clean it up inside & out and gave it a new face... much like God does for us.
