Alternative to Hallowe’en at Independent Church

A special ‘light party’ will be held in Newbuildings Independent Methodist Church Hall on Friday, October 26, at 6.30pm.

All children welcome. There is certainly a morbid fascination in darkness, death and fear that is attractive to children. The young do need to know something of evil in order to understand that good also exists, and they must at times be exposed to death in order to understand that we are all physically mortal. Children live in a hard world, where there are many

things that cause them pain and put them in danger. The society we have created is a difficult place for children, and there is enough darkness and evil without adding more. Light is better for children. We should take the opportunity to celebrate light - the light and colour in the world God has created but, more importantly, the light of salvation found in Christ alone. “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
