With Halloween coming up, it’s easy for many Christians to spend the eve keeping the house closed up, turning out the lights, and ignoring the trick or treaters. With Covid-19, many neighborhoods are even canceling festivities. All Saints’ encourages families to be the light in their neighborhood on this otherwise typically dark night, even during this unusual season. Turn all the lights on, open your door, smile and visit with your neighbors (socially distant with masks!), offer them a bottle of water, invite them for a cup of cider on the porch, or gift an elderly neighbor with a pumpkin or an outdoor visit. If you’d like to give out candy, the internet has so many creative ways of doing that safely. See some photos below as examples!

Shine your light, the light of Christ, as brightly as you can!
