Spreading Love and Light on Halloween

The Spirit of Halloween: A Time to Connect with Others

As we approach Halloween, it's easy to get caught up in the spooky atmosphere and forget about the true meaning of this holiday. But for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Halloween is an opportunity to spread love and light to those around us. We believe that every day is a chance to serve others and make a positive impact on their lives.

In fact, our faith teaches us that we should 'love thy neighbor as thyself' (Mark 12:31). This principle applies not just to our daily interactions but also to the way we celebrate holidays like Halloween. Instead of focusing solely on costumes and candy, let's take a moment to think about how we can use this day to bring joy and comfort to those around us.

How to Make a Difference on Halloween

So, how can we make a positive impact on Halloween? Here are a few ideas. First, consider volunteering at a local food bank or soup kitchen. Many organizations offer special events and services during the holiday season, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Another way to serve is by visiting the elderly or those who may be spending the holiday alone. A simple visit or phone call can go a long way in brightening someone's day. You could also consider organizing a trick-or-treat event for kids in your neighborhood or community.
