Redding First Church of the Nazarene Plans Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat for Halloween

People are rethinking how they will celebrate Halloween this year in an effort to keep everyone healthy and safe. The Redding First Church of the Nazarene has organized an upcoming event, Trunk or Treat, so families can still get into the Halloween spirit.

Lead Pastor Colin Duffy said the main difference this year is that the event is a drive-thru. “So instead of getting out and casually roaming around like we normally would we’re going to the drive-thru,” he said. Duffy said the church wanted to find a way to celebrate even if it means families stay in their cars.

Families in the church have donated candy for the event, Duffy said, showing a spirit of sharing with others (Hebrews 13:16). He said the event will also offer cotton candy, popcorn, snowcones and raffle baskets. Even though it is a drive-thru, Duffy said he is still encouraging everyone to wear their costumes.

Duffy said families will drive through the parking lot, open their car doors, and be given bags of candy, other foods and a raffle ticket. He said the setup would work well for minivans, and that children who come through will receive candy.

Duffy said the church has put together two raffle baskets, one for the kids and one for the adults.

The event takes place Saturday, October 31, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the church parking lot. More information is available on the Redding First Church of the Nazarene Facebook page.
