Halloween Rest Stop
🎃 A Rest Stop of Kindness: Halloween at the Church Front Doors
On October 31, as trick-or-treaters flood the sidewalks with laughter and costumes, the front steps of our church will become something more than just an entryway—they’ll become a rest stop of grace.
Each year, families in our neighborhood stop by—not only for candy, but for warmth, a bite to eat, and a safe place to pause. At our Halloween Rest Stop, we offer:
- 🌭 FREE: All Beef Hot dogs, chips, and candy for hungry little ghouls & ghosts
- 💧 Water to keep everyone hydrated
- 🚻 Restrooms open to all
- 🧡 A dry, warm place to regroup—especially on rainy or chilly nights
What began as a simple act of hospitality has become one of our favorite traditions. It’s not a big production. There are no bounce houses or fog machines. Just open doors, welcoming hearts, and the kind of kindness that sticks with people long after the night ends.
This is what it means to be the church—to meet people where they are, even (and especially) in the middle of a candy-filled costume parade.
We invite you to be part of the Halloween Rest Stop magic—not just by stopping by, but by helping us make it happen! This joyful evening depends on volunteers to serve snacks, greet families, and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We also welcome donations of candy to help sweeten the experience for all our trick-or-treaters.
🍬 Want to help or donate?
Let Susan Adam-Rita know! Candy donations can be dropped off at the church directly to her. Sign up here to donate candy or volunteer to help.
