Halloween

Halloween, like quite a few other worldly holidays, was claimed by the Church. Originally, Halloween was somewhat more like what you see nowadays as costumed children go seeking gifts for in ancient times people would dress up to scare away evil spirits on that day.

The Church took this day and turned it into a time to remember the faithful that had died in since the last Halloween. The date of Halloween (also known as "All Saints" or "All Hallows" Day) became November 1.

On All Saints Day in the Arlington United Methodist Church will be remembering our members who have died since last All Saints Sunday.

And we will also be naming those who have joined during this time.

You are invited to be our guest.
