Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm just saying I wouldn't expect churches to be the first place to go for a Jack O' Lantern

Crazy, I didn't know churches sell pumpkins. Where I come from, we grow our own pumpkins. I have no idea where I'd buy one other than the grocery store.
Now I want to carve a pumpkin tonight. I think I will!
Nice to see you here, Mr. "I'm Retiring". :)

I did once, but they jack the price up so high it's ridiculous. I can go to Wal-mart and for half the money, get a pumpkin three times the size.

I always thought that was funny too. Also think it is funny when churches decorate with Christmas trees:P
Many churches dont outright condemn Halloween. Most churches I go to say it is a personal decision. Some oppose it because of it's pagan roots, yet other celebrate it because it really isnt about that anymore, its about being a kid and having fun.

My church growing up had an alternate celebration for Halloween. They called it a Hallelujah party. The kids would dress up as their favorite bible characters, play games, and pumpkins were carved with religious symbols and stuff.
Tons of junk food too...and one year I kicked everyone else's tail at the Nintendo playoff. That's how I rolled.

Well, I think it's wrong, since they usually do it for Halloween purposes and Halloween is a pagan holiday that's associated with the occult. BTW: Churches aren't the ONLY places selling them, you can get them all over the place this time of year.

Pumpkins are generally associated with FALL, not just HALLOWEEN..

You forget that the main purpose of a church is to make money.
