What About Halloween ?
Should a professing Christian be
involved in the observance of Hal
loween in any form?
Thai's the topic of a special ser
mon by the Rev. Gabriel Galdo,
pastor, at Cape Fear Alliance

1 1 a.m. worship service.
Galdo will discuss the pagan ori
gins of Halloween and its relation
ship to superstition, spiritism and
Satanism, hoping listeners will
reach the same conclusion he has
come to: that one should not be in
volved in Halloween observance in
any form and should slop sending a
"mixed message" lo children and
society.
The public is invited to hear the
sermon; however, Galdo asks that
children not be allowed to hear the
sermon. A nursery and junior
church services will be provided.
