Halloween is coming up and if you’re not celebrating, you may find yourself feeling out of place. So what can Christians do to celebrate an alternative way? Today I’m sharing some ideas for Christians who don’t celebrate Halloween.
Many Christians are unsure what to do on October 31st, since it is Halloween. There are many different opinions about the holiday among Christians, but some (like my family) have decided that they would rather not participate in any way. If you’re a Christian who doesn’t celebrate Halloween, don’t worry, you are not alone!
Many Christian parents feel like they have to choose between celebrating with their children or teaching them the values of their faith. Maybe you’re worried that your children will feel left out.
