5 Ways to Be Missional on Halloween

Give out the best candy, not just regular candy. Don’t give out tracts. Kids are looking for the motherload of candy - be a blessing and give out the best candy you can get.

Think of the parents, they have their hands full. Having some coffee or hot apple cider with some pumpkin bread for that mom wrangling four kids around could be a massive way to give rest.

Be present. Don’t hide out all night. Consider taking the evening to sit out front. Take a few minutes to learn people’s names and where they live.

Be encouraging. Kids want to hear how awesome their costume is. We all know the power of words. Take some time to talk about their costumes. Utilize the few minutes you have to speak words of encouragement. 

Be attentive. Ask the Spirit to help you see. It really is not every day your neighbors come to your door. During the few minutes the Spirit gives you, be attentive to them. Take 1-2 minutes to hear their stories, learn their needs, etc. Ask the Spirit for help with every door ring!
