No Hallowe'en Poster

A 'No Hallowe'en' poster for those who might like to put one in their window:

There are some interesting comments regarding this ever-increasingly popular (especially if you're a retailer) event and the fact that it's becoming something very different to the 'family fun' night that many have tried to portray it as over the past few years.

Please pray for the Street Angels, Street and Town Pastors and the emergency services who can have anything but a party spirit to deal with.

Holy Week Posters

When I was a child I remember seeing the majority of the houses around me having 'This is Holy Week' posters in their windows and realise that this was due to one of the local churchwardens sticking one through each and every letterbox!

First I have to, albeit belatedly, applaud the commitment of the warden for this was no mean task,

Secondly I have to wonder why the people put them in their windows, because we did and our family were anything but Christian in observance or attendance?

I've been looking around and find that as day two of Holy Week begins, I haven't seen a single poster.

For those of you who, as usual, are wondering what I'm on about, here's a version:

Now, was the placing of these peer pressure or something else?
