Halloween Outreach 2025

Since Halloween is one of the only nights when our neighbors literally come to our doors, instead of hosting a large event at church, this year we’re encouraging everyone to turn their lights on and look for ways to bless children and their families.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14)

As we continue our Here Am I series, exploring what it means to live on mission among the nations, we’re excited about this positive and practical way to serve our neighbors.

Here are some ideas to consider. Keep it simple but be as creative as you’d like!

• Say "Here Am I" locally by praying for your neighbors by name and asking God to help you connect with them.
• Turn on all your outdoor lights.
• Set up lawn chairs in your front yard and greet people as they come to your home.
• Be generous in the amount of candy you give out.
• Play some uplifting music.
• Consider grilling hot dogs or serving hot chocolate.
• Prepare gift bags and distribute them to the neighbors who don’t come.
• Take some pictures and post them to #lightitup.
