Into the light

Hallowe'en, or All Hallow's Eve, should be one of the brightest days of the church year's.

It's the day before All Hallow's Day (or All Saints Day) when we celebrate the light of Christ shining in the hearts of his people - and that's all his people, because in the Bible a 'saint' is any Christian, not a special Christian, but any and every Christian.

How all that got mixed up with ghosts, spooks, ghouls, and the modern day Hallowe'en celebration of darkness, is anyone's guess.

But that's where our Light Party for kids and parents at St Anne's Hall on 31st October comes in - as an attempt to reclaim Hallowe'en as what it should be - a celebration of God's light shining in the hearts of his people.

And it sounds like a great time was had by all:
