How-To Trunk or Treat  
Trunk or Treat Guide

Kidology's Trunk or Treat Halloween Outreach Planning Guide helps redeem a frustrating holiday for Christians by providing you with the tools to host a successful Fall outreach event.

 

Authored by 3 experienced children's pastors, this Guide outlines how you can make Halloween a time to love kids, minister to families, and serve the community together as a church.

Often, new families enter the community of the Church as a result of an event like Trunk or Treat. Even those who don't, leave having tasted God's Love... and that's not a "Trick" -- that's a "Treat!"
