On the evening of Monday, October 29, the basement of Marsh Chapel was the location of a Halloween party put together by the Servant Team. After weeks of preparation, the signs were put up, the cobwebs were hung, and the doughnuts were hanging in anticipation for the doughnut-bobbing contest (see photo).   Now, of course there were a few glitches; for instance, the pumpkin painting had to be cut short due to a shortage of pumpkins, but the station was quickly changed into a cookie decorating station.  The fog machine was a little erratic, but it finally gave us the desired effect. The Haunted Chapel, as it was called, was a success. BU Students weren't the only visitors to the Haunted Chapel, but also community members from outside the University. The public had a chance to make "dirt cups," watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and find out about activism opportunities around BU with the help of One Prayer, among other activities.  On the outside steps, members of the Theology House were handing out candy, while dressed in costumes.

All in all the night was an absolute success, and was a lot of fun for the community and the Servant Team. After a few weeks of midterms, there is nothing better than relaxing with a little Halloween fun.
