Is there an alternative to celebrating Halloween? Yes! Let's take seriously the example set by the early church of celebrating our history and heritage as Christians. Learning church history can not only be painless, it can be fun! Try having a Heroes for Jesus Party with your family, church family, and friends. You just need some volunteers to dress up as your favorite church history heroes and stay in character for an hour or so....How about bringing in the Apostle Paul, St. Francis of Assisi, Amy Carmichael, St. Patrick, Martin Luther, or St. Augustine? Your children wil not even realize they are learning about church history!
We have been having Heroes for Jesus parties for years with everyone who participates having a grand time! We have loved making memories and learning together about mighty men and women who have changed the world for the glory of God!
