I’m not a big fan of Halloween.

I don’t like to dress up.
I don’t like to be scared.
I don’t like horror movies.
I don’t like haunted houses.
I don’t like cats, spiders or pumpkins.
I don’t understand why pumpkin spice lattes or pumpkin pies even exist.
And I don’t see the wisdom in walking around in the neighborhood while people dressed up like zombies are roaming the streets.

Not everyone in the English household has agreed with me over the years. Annually, there would be the Halloween Summits – a series of meetings in which Amy, acting as the ambassador for the three kids, would negotiate the terms and conditions of what Halloween activities would be acceptable. Over the years, various concessions were negotiated.

Why am I bringing all of this up?

Because Hallelujah Night would have solved many of our issues! It’s not scary. It’s great for kids. There’s going to be free food. Lots of games. Lots of candy. No zombies.

In all seriousness, this is a great night for Antioch Church and Western Hills to get together. It’s a great picture of churches coming together to be a blessing for our city. So if you’ve got kids and don’t want to freeze to death – show up at the Antioch Life Center!

Just a warning though. There are probably going to be some pumpkins… Can’t win them all.
