St. Paul's Episcopal Church issued the following announcement on Oct. 28.
Our staff dressed up in coordinated costumes, which has become an annual custom for us on the Wednesday before Halloween. This year, we chose Disney villains as our theme, and some of my colleagues devoted considerable creativity and effort to their outfits. I cannot say that every member of our staff looks forward to putting on a ridiculous costume, but I do sense that we enjoy doing something silly together and are glad to be a part of a group that can laugh with one another. Dressing up together has become a way for us to celebrate the best part of teamwork.
Earlier this week, in a conversation unrelated to Halloween, the staff spent some time reflecting on how joyous the Celebration Sunday breakfast had been. We wondered together about the need for additional opportunities for congregational engagement—occasions for pure fellowship that might draw us back together. We noted how good it was to do some of the things that we had not done in a while because of the pandemic—simple things like decorating for a party and practicing small-talk. After a while, I began to imagine how good it might feel to get dressed up for that next special event.
