Although rooted firmly in our cultural fabric, Halloween isn’t without controversy. For some it’s an innocent evening of going door to door to collect candy while dressed in a costume, but for others it’s a representation of what the Bible calls darkness or evil. This week’s LinC will help your youth gain confidence that Jesus the light is always with them even when God feels far away and life is dark and difficult. Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:1-5; Deuteronomy 1:29-33; Luke 23:44-46. Every fall in recent history news stories have surfaced about tension over prayer in schools.

Next week’s LinC will help your students explore the premise that freedom is still a fight and dive into the question: “What does freedom mean to you?”
