October can be a slightly awkward month for women’s ministry planning when your church doesn’t celebrate Halloween.
There are Halloween parties, costumes, and spooky activities everywhere, but maybe that simply isn’t the direction you want for your group.
You still need something women can actually do together, though.
Something seasonal enough to feel right for October, meaningful enough for a church gathering, and interesting enough that it doesn’t feel like you settled for the non-Halloween option.
That’s exactly where Rooted in Christ: The Secret of Heritage Oak fits.
Rooted in Christ: The Secret of Heritage Oak is a printable women’s ministry escape game built around spiritual growth, perseverance, Scripture, reflection, and staying rooted in Christ through every season.
Your group follows Evelyn through decades of journal entries as they explore the garden retreat she spent her life caring for. Along the way, they solve nine puzzles connected to moments of growth, drought, storms, family, faith, and legacy before uncovering the code to Evelyn’s locked keepsake box.
It works especially well for an October women’s ministry event because the garden, oak tree, fall watercolor artwork, and the deeper "Rooted in Christ" message naturally fit the season without involving Halloween at all!
Use it for a fall fellowship night, women’s ministry retreat, ladies’ luncheon, banquet, Bible study gathering, conference, or simply as your October group activity.
There’s no elaborate setup. Print the game, divide into teams if you’d like, and let everyone work together to uncover Evelyn’s secret.
