We had a visit from a fantastic Life Group the week of Halloween that helped LOTS of kids get costumes ready for the upcoming festivities. We had cats, dogs, and pirates running around all over the place! The kids had so much fun and were grateful for something to wear to school like all the other kids would have.
The following Friday, we loaded up a big bunch and went to a nearby church for a Halloween Block Party. Crown Heights Baptist Church is so gracious to open their doors to the community and offer a safe and fun place for about a gazillion kids. So, the kids who came with us were just a few among the many who were having a great time. But, unlike the others, it was the first encounter with Halloween for a good bunch of those we brought along. I just can’t imagine what they are thinking! They can’t understand us enough to really understand what’s going on. So, I’m sure they wonder why we want to keep giving them candy and paint spiders on their faces and give them fluffy pink candy on a stick. But, I’m also sure they loved every minute of it.
Thanks to everyone who helped prepare beforehand and who helped chaperone the night of the big event!
