Something to celebrate?

30 Oct 2011

At Church by the Bay, we’ve been seeing in Mark’s gospel just how grim evil is. In chapter 5, we've seen a man who had a 'legion' of evil spirits who were bent on his destruction. And we've the awfulness of the death of Jairus' daughter aged only 12. Evil and death are strange things to celebrate!

But we've also been seeing that Jesus can deal with these evil things. He can get rid of evil, and he can defeat death! He is the one we should be celebrating!

So what should Christians do when people knock on your door on Hallowe'en evening all dressed up? 
Ignore the doorbell? Open the door and explain why you won’t give them anything?

Or...you could give them some really nice sweets and the best treat of all - an invite to come and hear the good news of Jesus.

We'll be taping the invite below to the sweets we give to make sure that the flyer sticks with the best sweets in the goody bags!
