| THE HARVEST Family Friendly: nothing scary and plenty of fun for all ages! |
| All Saint's Eve Historically, October 31st began as a Christian celebration. On that same night, October 31st, these prayer warriors would place a candle in their window to notify people in need, that they could come to receive free clothing and food. The following day, November 1st (All Saints Day) those dedicated Christian laborers would go out and actively share the Good News of their Christian faith. Throughout history, and throughout the world, Christians have had slight variations on this theme, however one thing remains constant in those historic tales - that is the gathering of Christian believers in prayer and in service to others. May our porch lights, this holiday season, shine brightly as a beacon of hope for all. If you are in need, be it for clothes, food, or a night of prayer, you are welcome. This positive tradition can be followed any time of the year. What a positive reminder of our history and mission! Pray together and labor the fields together. The field is ripe for the harvest. May our celebrations be such a witness to the resurrection of Christ! For more information about this special Christian celebration throughout history, here is a link to Wikipedia information.
