🎃 Save the Date: Arise:Hallow Launch – 24 September 2025 🎉

Get ready for something brand new, bold, and citywide. On Wednesday 24th September 2025, we’re launching Arise:Hallow — a powerful, united response to one of the most overlooked moments in the Church calendar: Halloween.

While Halloween has often been dismissed or ignored by Christians, we believe this night — when our neighbours come to our doors — holds incredible potential for hope, light, and Gospel invitation.

🌟 What Is the Happy Halloween Project?

This is our third major citywide outreach initiative, and it’s set to be something special. Rooted in the original Christian meaning of All Hallow’s Eve, the Happy Halloween Project reclaims the season with joy, truth, and faith.

Through:

• Truth & Treat Packs (with Gospels and goodies), and

• Open Church Events (light parties, prayer spaces, and front-door hospitality),

we're equipping the Church to meet people exactly where they are — with light, love, and the Good News of Jesus.

💥 Why This Matters

In a time when people are searching for meaning and connection, Halloween presents a rare moment when strangers knock and ask for something. This project gives the Church a chance to respond with eternal value — not fear, but faith. Not darkness, but light.

And unlike Easter and Christmas, this night is open in the church calendar — ripe for a truly united, citywide witness.
