I know this is a year ago, but why does your church celebrate a pagan holiday of Halloween? It's fine for families to gather for a fall festival for food, wall climb, petting zoos, and hay rides. However, trunk or treat (likely involving costumes) and Face Painting are Pagan practices of Halloween, a holiday that did not exist back in the days of the Israelites and likely for good reasons. If you are a follower of God and Jesus, turn away from this practice. " Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God." (3 John 1:11) Even if someone wants to argue "it's just kids that do that, it's still a seed of idolatry or worship of some form of false gods. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me (Exodus 20:4-5)

Jesus proves he is just as evil as his father. I love it!
