We're hosting a Christian Halloween party. What is a good Christian theme?

[Greasy Tony]

UH! I thought Christians didn't do Halloween?

[ellusionary]

Repressed ***ual tension?And Tony; Halloween is also All Hallow Eve(n) the night before All Saints Day, which is a Christian holiday. Though it started as a pagan holiday, the catholic church moved their saints day to coincide with Samhain sometime around the ninth century, and it was filtered down into most of the christian divisions after the splits of the church into the various christian denominations.

How about something like "Guided by the Spirit"?

Christ on a cross.

I'm a christian too. So if I was to throw a christian halloween party I would maybe give guest's a goody bag that has something like candy and then a christian magnet or bracelet. It's your choice really....

how about dressing someone up as a jeezus zombie and standing in the middle of the room he could hand out bread and fishand then for the finale you could have someone dressed as a roman slice his side and wine could pour out and then everybody could drunk and have a good ol christian "bible study"you could really get to "know" each other just like they used to in the old testament!Can I come?PS stop trying to make American Gods out of sacred days to the old ones...this is not a day for those who celebrate resurrection of the dead, it is the HARVEST. a time for reflection.

I think it's great the church is doing something for the kids on Halloween it's much more safer for the children and can be alot of fun. A really simple theme like angels or something maybe superheros. When we had Halloween parties at my church we just decorated the same as at our house and had a haunted house in one of the church Sunday school rooms as long as the kids know it's really something for them to make Halloween safer and that things that associate with Halloween like devils,witches,and demons etc. we do not worship and celebrate I hope it's really nice for the kids.

Of course Christians can celebrate Halloween! I grew up Christian, and Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. It's about having fun! Dressing up like a witch or ghost or vampire or pirate is not evil, nor does it mean you wish to become those things. It's fantasy. It's make believe. It's having a good time! You might consider an old fashioned harvest theme or a certain time period such as the 50's.
