Halloween may not be quite what you think…
While Halloween can often be a time associated with ghosts, devils and darkness, this video is designed to share the good news that Jesus is the light of the world!
In this Spoken Word, Glen Scrivener unpacks the medieval origins of Halloween. He explores how the Church would mock the forces of darkness, knowing that the future is futile for any such force.
