As far as I was aware, toddler groups run in church halls are not church.



I wouldn't let a child wear a Halloween costume to church (well okay I wouldn't take a child to church but anyway) but a toddler group is in a hall, not in a church. None of the ones I used to go to were free, they cost a couple of quid to cover the biscuits etc. The people who run it are volunteers just because they are nice people. I don't see it as having anything to do with church or religion as such unless it is actually one of these "messy church" type things which is religion dressed up as fun. Just because the vicars wife runs it doesn't mean it is a religious thing. Religious people do things other than religion.



Having said all that, unless there is a specific event with dressing up as part of it I generally wouldn't dress them up because no-one else would be.
