National Avenue Assembly of God will host a Halloween alternative this weekend that is meant to give young people a new way of looking at issues of today.

“Eternal Nightmare” will feature walk-through scenes that depict “the horrors of drugs, alcohol, abortion, self-mutilation” and more, said the Rev. Jim Cookson, pastor of the church.

The final scene will present the story of Jesus Christ as the answer to those horrors.

The free event is recommended for children over 12 years old, Cookson said. The program is being presented by the church’s youth department. This is the fourth year the church has presented the program.

Teens and adults are invited to tour the “Eternal Nightmare” Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. National Avenue Assembly is at 931 N. National Ave. For more information, call the church at 869-1860.
