Haunted house for Halloween

[mathinspiration]

Should churches have haunted houses to earn money for youth?

Probably not, they pray on fear. It would be like playing Harry Potter for your congregation. Although the members could enjoy a haunted house, it would not be appropriate for a church to conduct one. 1 John 4:18

Maybe... Perhaps just for the sake of earning money...

But they shouldn't partake in it as unbelievers do -- their heart shouldn't be in it. "Just doing a job attitude", not to have fun in a pagan tradition.

I saw a meme that said "July 4th is over can we put up the Halloween Decorations now?"

Sure, it's just a bit of fun

There's an online petition to change the day of Halloween. It has 63,000 signatures and counting


There is an idea floating around to change Halloween to the last Saturday of every October. While I doubt it will fly, there are a few reasons
One, parents can spend a Saturday night with the kids and not have to rush in to bed for work or school the next morning. Also this will give us a full day to set up for the night

And some can turn it into an entire weekend event

Halloween is my second favorite holiday after Christmas.
As it is, I have been accused of going overboard with my displays and decorations. I take the day before, of and after off work to finalize everything. We are already making props and animatronics
I would love a Saturday Halloween. I would love a "Halloween Weekend" to go all out. But, I go all out already and will regardless of the day.
