Laura White - Eden Children's Resources Specialist
Ah, a new school year. Fresh exercise books ready to be covered in wrapping paper, shiny school shoes and crisp new uniforms. Coupled with that, the days suddenly feel colder and shorter, and a certain coffee chain has started adding pumpkin spice to everything.
For children’s workers and church leaders, that means a certain event is just around the corner. All Hallows Eve or more commonly, Halloween.
For many Churches, this is a chance to seek the light at a time when many are celebrating darkness and trickery. Instead, Churches host light parties - a Christian alternative to Halloween, a great opportunity to reach out to your local community with the Good News.
We have collected together some ideas of tracts, treats and more to show the light of Jesus to children and their families this Halloween.
Who Is The Light?
Who is the Light? is a 20 page booklet, from Scripture Union specifically for children aged 5-8. The story of Who is the Light? centres around presenting Jesus as the light of the world and how those who follow him are called to be like light too. With a friendly and colourful design, this little booklet will help primary school children explore and respond to the words of Jesus .
Available as a pack of 10 for £4.99
What Do you do When Darkness Comes?
Also from Scripture Union, What Do You Do When the Darkness Comes to Visit? is a vividly illustrated booklet for 8-11 year olds. This story invites children to discover Jesus who is the Light of the World and to turn to him for help.
Available as a pack of 10 for £4.99
A Meaningful Treat Box
New for 2017, the Meaningful Treat Box from the Meaingful Chocolate Company (You may have bought their advent calendars or Easter eggs in the past).
Inside each Meaningful Treat Pack there is a bag of Swiss Fairtrade chocolate buttons and a Challenge Activity Poster. The poster has eight challenges using the themes of good winning over bad and light over darkness.
The box also contains an ideas sheet for leaders.
Available as a box of 30 for £30 - that’s just £1 per child.
