Halloween is the one night a year where strangers come to our door asking for something! As a church, this is an incredible mission opportunity to build community relationships and show the love of Jesus.
On October 31, Annunciation sets up a tent on the front lawn and hands out candy, hot chocolate, and popcorn to kids and parents in our neighbourhood. We also make our washrooms available for families and the parking lot open for people to park.
We’ve run this outreach for three years with great success. Not only is it a great outreach to our immediate neighbourhood, but it also makes an easy and non-committal invitation to friends\family!
How can you be a part of this Outreach opportunity?
- All throughout October, you can drop off donations of candy, chocolate, chips, and glow sticks. Remember the houses that gave the best candy at Halloween? Let’s be that place!
- Help prep the donated candy in ziplock bags following the 9am mass on Oct 31.
- Join our set-up, handout, and clean-up teams!
