Hallowe'en is the fastest-growing festival in the UK. These free resources
can help churches and Christians remind people of Hallowe'en’s true
origins in All Hallows' (or All Saints') Day. Please use these resources
and pass them on to others.
The
All Saints' Day countdown calendar on the left displays a different
thought-provoking video each day from 26th October to 1st November.
These videos feature speakers such as Rob Parsons, Pete Greig, Ruth
Valerio and Alistair Burt MP. A special video called Real Life? is permanently displayed in the second tab of the calendar.
Please use the code on the left to add this calendar to your website. You can preview all the videos below,
and download or republish them for free from our Tools for Talks
website. Let's use the opportunity of Hallowe'en to help others to think
about the difference Jesus makes today.

Deovox
Three special episodes of deovox, Damaris' free audio podcast. These episodes
will help you think about a biblical perspective on themes raised by
the festivals of Halloween and All Saints' Day. The episodes are
designed specifically so that they are accessible and relevant to people
who would not consider themselves Christians, as well as those who
would.
Our
intention is that these episodes will be ideal for you to share with
your friends, family and colleagues in order to help them think about
spiritual issues in the time up to and around Halloween.
The episodes are now all available. The subjects are:
Death
Good and evil
Heroes of the faith (those who have come before us)
For more information on these episodes, sign up to our free email Deovox Update (you will need to create a Damaris username if you don't already have one - this is free too).
Videos from the All Saints' Day Countdown Calendar
You
might consider showing this trailer (which is displayed on the calendar
until 26th October) in church to introduce the countdown calendar and
help people think about heroes of faith.
Please feel free to republish this trailer on your website or blog.
