Order now for Halloween 2009!
Background information:
The great Feast of All Saints is too often overshadowed by the once related but now secular celebration of Halloween, the original Christian significance of which has been lost.
Working in partnership with The Church of England, building on the Halloween Choice campaign, we can provide resources to help you to explore the Christian meaning/teaching of All Saints alongside children and young people. Once more we are grateful to the National Worship Development Officer for helping us to pull together seasonal worship materials.
The suggested activities essentially involve a church celebration of All Saints and a procession of light ending in a community party. Children can dress up in costumes – maybe as modern-day heroes or ‘saints’ such as nurses and firemen and still enjoy the thrill of exploring their neighbourhood after dark – as with current Halloween practice.
By holding an activity and arranging a collection for The Children's Society you are helping to make childhood better for all children.
