This year has been an incredible year of learning and discovery when it comes to the relationship between Western Hills Church and Antioch Church. What started as two pastors who were friends grew into a group of men having breakfast, then two churches going through the same message series, a combined service, adopting some schools together, a school supply drive and continued conversations of how both churches can continue to be voices of unity and reconciliation for our city.
This Halloween is another step in that journey.
Antioch has long been a safe place in the community for parents to bring their kids on Halloween to dress up, get some candy, and have some fun. It’s called “Hallelujah Night,” and it’s a time for incredible fun, games, connection, and candy for the neighborhood. This year, in the spirit of continuing to build a stronger relationship between the two churches, Antioch has invited us to join them for this unique service opportunity.
(And just in case you were wondering, we said yes.)
It’s going to be an incredible event – full of fun and food. That’s what is obvious about the night. What may not be as obvious but is MORE important is this: it’s another opportunity for our city to see the Church the way the Father has intended the world to see the Church from the beginning. Different ages. Different colors. Different backgrounds. United in making a big deal about Jesus.
Here’s how you can be a part of this…
– Sign up to help. Click here to be a part of the team – set up, decorating, serving food, running a game, bringing candy.
– If you can’t physically be there, bring us some candy. This is a great way to help.
– Show up. Bring your family and kids to participate in this experience.
– Pray. For opportunities to reach those who would not normally consider Jesus or the Church.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
