The Pumpkin Patch Parable
I'll have one more Halloween tip to share with you after this post. But for right now I'd like to share an idea that was shared with me a few years back.
After cutting an opening in the top of your pumpkin, have the kids pull out all of the seeds and scrape out the inside of the pumpkin.
what to talk about: 'how is the stuff we pulled out of the pumpkin like the sin in our heart?'
'how is the way we cleaned out the pumpkin like the way Jesus cleans us out when we confess our sins?
Draw a happy face on the pumpkin. Carve it out.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" 2 Corinthians 5:17
How have we made this pumpkin a new creation?
How do we become a new creation when Jesus comes into our hearts?
Place a candle inside
"You are the light t
hat gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don't hide a light under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in Heaven" Matthew 5:14-16
