If you think planning for
an environmentally-friendly
Halloween is tricky, you're in
for a real treat.
This year, teach your kids
about recycling and compost-
ing while having a great time
at your own "Green
Halloween" party:
With a little planning and
some creativity, it's easy to
have a "Green Halloween."
"Recycling and composing
are a good thing for kids to
learn about every day," says
Charles Hall, Executive
Director of Keep Troup
Beautiful, "And holidays are
an especially good time to
teach children about protect-
ing the environment by
changing your habits."
Here are some ideas on
how to hose a "Green
Halloween" Party:
Send invitations on a nap-
kin. Have guests bring their
invitations to use as their nap-
kin for the party.
Have guests wear cos-
tumes made from old clothes
or from things purchased
from Goodwill.
Decorate with natural
products like fall leaes, corn
stalks or straw. Compost them
after the event.
Use plastic utensils that
can be reused or recycled. For
cider and hot chocolate, use
ceramic mugs that kids can
take home as a party favor.
Other party favors could
include fruit, homemade
snacks such as "popcorn on
the cob" or crafts made at the
party.
Buy a few yards of
Halloween material at a fab-
ric store for festive table-
cloths and treat bags that can
be reused.
Have a craft-making
table that utilizes all bever-
age or food containers (make
sure to check for sharp edges
on cans. Recycle unusable
containers). Call it the "Trash
"darkside"isanattemptofSatan to Treasures" table.
A l00mington to remove the attention of the Make homemade snacks
people from the Lord of Lords, such as doughnuts or candied
apples as a part of the party
activities.
Make "recycled ghosts."

Jesus Christ. In this pastor's
opinion, there are two major
problems with the celebration
..... of Halloween. First, it causes
people to become directly
involved with the occult and sec-
ondly, it opens the door for our
children to be exposed to more
profound devices of Satan. later
on in life. The Bible says in
Ephesians 5:11, And have no fel-
lowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather
reprove them. "Christians and
Christian parents have a respon-
sibility not to become involved
in and not to let their children
to become involved in those
things that would bring dishon-
or to the Lord Jesus. Each par-
ent needs to go to the Word of
God and settle this issue for
themselves. We are told in 2
Timothy 2: 15, "Study to show
thyself approved unto God..." A
careful study of the Scripture
will reveal the dangers associ-
ated with Halloween. Song of
Solomon says, "Take us the
foxes, the little foxes, that spoil
the vines: for our vines have ten-
der grapes." Although this may
seem like a little thing, it is the
little things that creep in and
become big things. Our children
are a precious gift from the
Lord, may we do all we can to
protect them from the harm that
Satan would like to bring their
