Reverse Trick-or-Treating

For High School youth group this week, we joined forces with the college group to go "reverse trick-or-treating" in the neighborhood near our church.

While the fairies, ninjas, and princess were out with their parents collecting candy, our group of cowgirls, bumble bees, and Waldo went door to door handing out fair trade chocolate.

We watched a video about slavery, child labor, and cocoa before going out and repeatedly giving a short speech of, "We want to thank you for handing out candy to so many people tonight, and we would like to give you some of this cool chocolate that we just learned about."

One of the girls mentioned on the way back to the church that she thought the youth group should do things like this at least once or twice a year. Definitely okay with that idea! In fact...how does once or twice a month sound? (Or an entire month, for that matter?)
