Trunk or Treating at my Church

We are coming up on the 4th annual Trunk or Treat at my church!!

In the past I've taken my children and my grandchildren to other churches for safe trick or treating. I was so happy when my church started the tradition.

What is This Trunk or Treat Thing?

I've only seen trunk or treat at churches, so I am unsure if other places do it.

Trunk or Treating is a safe alternative to going from house to house.

We park in the parking lot of the church and pass out candy from the "trunks" of our vehicles. (see photos below that I took last Halloween)

It's so convenient for parents to bring the children and in one swell swoop they can go around the parking lot and trick or treat with their children. Parents can also feel a lot safer that their children aren't going to get anything that is bad given to their children.

It's a real delight, lots of fun, great socializing, etc.

(at my church after we are done passing out candy the members go downstairs for our own Halloween party with treats, games and more socializing)

Have You Been To A Trunk or Treat?

yes

OhMe says:

We love Trunk or Treat. It is such fun!

poddys says:

Only Biblical characters! But that's not the spirit of Halloween. If your church is like that Stephen, I am surprised they even have trick or treating.

StephenC says:

Yes, but our church wants a toned down bit. Only Biblical characters. Wish they would let a little more creativity in, but I can't argue.

no

christopherwell says:

I'd seen them advertised at various churches, but you're the first to explain to me what the "trunk" is. (Now it makes perfect sense.) Traditionally, our church has gone more the "Fall Festival" route.

poddys says:

I haven't heard of this before, but it sounds like a good idea. I used to take my daughters to Zoo Boo at the local zoon in Indiana, but especially for the younger children it's a good idea.
