St John Baptist Church Steps Out of the Box for Halloween Fun

Dr. Robert A. F. Turner and members of St John Baptist Church are providing a festive venue for community children this Holloween.

In order to provide a safe and festive venue for community children to enjoy wholesome fun on Halloween, St John Baptist Church will host The Sweet Tooth Costume Carnival on Thursday, November 1 , 2019 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Residents of Columbia and neighboring communities are invited to enjoy an evening of rides, games, food trucks, and “trunk-or treating.”

“This is an exciting opportunity for the entire family,” says St John Discover Youth Ministries pastor, Rev. Rickey Harvey, Jr. “Ministry is about service and problem solving. St John’s Sweet Tooth Costume Carnival gives concerned parents a safe alternative to go door-to-door solicitation of candy. All youth grades K-12 are invited to wear their favorite costumes and participate in free trunk-or treating, great food, and many more fun activities.” Interested participants are urged to RSVP online through Eventbrite.
