Trunk or Treat Halloween Carnival (30 October 2021)

Please join us on Saturday (30 October 2021) from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM for Trunk or Treat — a DIY Halloween carnival.

Members and friends — park your cars in the church parking lot.

Decorate them as simply or elaborately as you please.

Pass out candy and / or small toys for the children who go from car to car collecting their loot.

If you want to host a game or simple craft at your car, you are welcome to do that as well.

Masks are required for everyone who is age 5 or older or enrolled in kindergarten to comply with the Louisiana state mask mandate.

We are also encouraging social distancing to the greatest extent possible for this event.

Costumes and Halloween masks cheerfully encouraged for all ages.

Let’s get back together in person safely.

Samhain Ritual (30 October 2021)

Please join us on Saturday (30 October 2021) at 3:00 PM for a Samhain Ritual with the Thistle Grove of Ár nDraíocht Féin (a Druid Fellowship).

Thistle Grove invites us to their ritual in celebration of Samhain (pronounced SAH-win) — an ancient Celtic festival of the dead that is the source of many of our Halloween traditions — but is not the same as Halloween.

Samhain on the Druid calendar is the turning of the year — a time for remembrance and reverence of the dead.

Though family-friendly and welcoming to all, the ritual is a more solemn occasion than a Halloween celebration and will include a speaking of the names of those who have died.

We invite you to honor your own departed loved ones as you participate in this spiritual ritual and learning experience.

Masks are required as well as distancing to the extent possible.

  • Thursday, 23 September 2021 at 12 Noon

Email Susan Caldwell to let her know which meeting you will attend.
