The number one question I’ve been seeing in kids’ ministry groups recently is – “What are you doing for a fall event?”
With so many restrictions, classic events like Trunk or Treat, Fall Fests, and other fun outreach ideas have to be adapted or put on hold.
Last fall, our church put off a brand new Halloween outreach event called Glow Night. We set up “glow stations” all around our community – and distributed goodies, hot chocolate and glow sticks to hundreds of kids. It was an amazing way to share the love of Jesus in a practical way. It was honestly one of my favourite events we’ve ever done!
This year, we are brainstorming ways to still be the hands & feet of Jesus on Halloween. We’re still working out the details, but I know one thing for sure – we want to find an opportunity to shine God’s light in our community!
I’m sure you feel that way too!
One of the keys to successful outreach during this season is by giving families the tools to do it together. When we can’t host big events, how can families reach out creatively in our communities?
One way that you can do that is by putting a devotional in family’s hands to get the conversation started on shining God’s light this fall.
This week, I’m sharing a “Let’s Glow!” devotional with you. It can work as a stand-alone devotional, to include in your Halloween outreach plans, or as part of the Glow Night Event bundle!
This free devotional could be used to:
- Share on your church’s social media page with a question – “How can you shine God’s light this fall season?”
- Hand it out at your Fall Festival, Fall Family Night or other Fall Event
- Use it as part of a “Glow Night” outreach
This free devotional was formatted so you can print, share or hand it out now – but the one in our “Glow Night Kit” is a Word Document – so you can customize it, plus it includes discussion questions & prayer prompts for your families as well!
The Glow Night Kit also includes social media images, posters, a planning guide & suggestions to make this year’s event COVID-friendly!
