Pastor says event is not political

Posted

A Lebanon church plans to celebrate Halloween by setting fire to “books and ungodly artifacts.”

Halloween night at Emmanuel Chapel in Lebanon, beginning at 6 p.m., will include “a bonfire where we will burn books and ungodly artifacts,” according to a Facebook announcement from the church.

The announcement about the event was posted last week on Facebook.

“There will be a bonfire where we will burn books and ungodly artifacts,” it read. It also mentioned, “notepads to write and burn lies of the enemy” and “Our next generation bringing the word and testimonies. Come be a part of a great move of God.”
