Someone brought up an interesting concept of Halloween that I am still pondering on..
Her post:
"The Night of Halloween"
'Twas the night of Halloween
And all through the town
All the Christians were hiding
There were none to be found
Their porch lights were off
Their doors tightly locked
And they simply ignored it
If a child came and knocked
They claimed to be standing
Against evil that night
Yet their decision to hide
Had caused Satan no fright
It was more like a gift
That they let him run free
Instead of shining out Jesus
For the whole world to see
The children still came home
With bags full of treats
Yet none could have said
That his soul had been reached
For on that night that was darkest
The light hid away
Allowing old Satan
To have his own way
And as I end this I wonder
What would Jesus have done?
When confronted with darkness
Would he too have run?
Don't dare to believe it
My Christ would not fear
For when Satan came calling
He would say I AM HERE!
-Written by Pastor Aaron Brant.
This is a copy paste of something one of our pastors wrote, and the reason why we "light the night"
This was written by Aaron Brant.
He was the secondary pastor and recently got his own head pastorship, at Barron Foursquare.
We don't go out with candles and things, we set up on our porch with lights (Christmas lights on the porch) and some years we've handed out chili along with candy wrapped in a tract with church info, some years we've handed out cocoa/coffee, covid years it was just the candy.
It has such an impact on the community, that for five years after our pastors moved houses people still stopped by asking if this is where the chili is.
Our goal is to be a light for Jesus, share the gospel and build relationships with the community, so that they want to come visit us and hear the gospel.

What do you guys think? Some people say it's better than hiding in the basement.
