DAY OF THE LIVING Halloween, or better, All Hallow’s Eve, is in essence a celebration of the dead. The Celts who originated this ancient festival believed that on this day the dead could walk amongst the living, and the living could visit the dead. O n that day, some would dress up like ghouls or offer treats to the spirits to satisfy them so they would leave them alone. Can spirits affect people’s lives? Are they the cause of unexplained problems in some people’s lives? Do people have the power to overcome them? Answers to this and to so much more will be revealed every Friday at your local UCKG HelpCentre. Let your faith be bigger than your fear.” 20
