Halloween at St Philip's

This week is Halloween, but we started our celebration early in Church School at St Philip's. Last Sunday we invited the children to wear their costumes to Church and after a special Children's Focus with Marilyn about the saints, the Church School class went on a journey through our labyrinth and met some of the saints along the way. Thank you to Bruce, Sheila and all those who helped prepare, set up and clean up after this special lesson. This was a wonderful opportunity to share the labyrinth with the Church school.



After the service, the Halloween fun continued with our annual Halloween lunch for families. This was a wonderful fellowship opportunity for the Church School and all others who participated. There is nothing quite like sitting down to pizza with Cinderella and a Vampire. Thanks to those who helped with lunch.

For those who live in the Kerrisdale area, see the notice above about the candy giveaway happening on Halloween at St Mary's. Stop by and see Cameron and me as well as other members of our joint youth group and the parish. We will be handing out hot chocolate and candy to our neighbours.

I will leave you with one last picture of everyone in their costumes during Children's Focus with Marilyn. Enjoy!
