2) 2013: Laying Up Treasures in Heaven/Pirates Theme – Yes, Jack Sparrow did make an appearance! This one was Derek’s favorite one so far; in fact, it was his idea! I even had pirate music playing in the background!
4) 2011: Jesus is “Deer” to My Heart – We dressed in camouflage and brought Derek’s deer mounts, leaves, etc. And this year, “Lady Bug” girl came to see us!
5) 2010: There’s No Place Like Home – I don’t have a picture of this set up, but we dressed as Dorothy and the Scarecrow from Oz. I had a piece of yellow fabric that I wrote out the Roman’s Road scriptures on to signify the “yellow brick road to home.” And I used a science fair board painted blue with cotton glued on it at the end for the sky.

What great ideas! The Wizard of Oz one sounds so cute! I am contemplating doing a "Jesus Is Our Superhero" type of trunk or treat theme to go with our superhero costumes, and your post popped up on my Pinterest feed tonight! 🙂 Thanks for sharing! – Amy @ http://thegiftedgabber.com/
Thanks for sharing your ideas!! This will be our church’s first year doing this as an outreach! Any tips would be greatly appreciated! You’re popping up on Pinterest! 🙂
I’m happy you found my trunk or treat ideas! One other thing we always do is take John 3:16 and print it tiny enough to fit on each piece of candy, and I tape it to them. I just believe we need to use every chance we get to share the Word!
