Pumpkin Activity
Carving a pumpkin can remind us of how God grows our faith
  1. Cut open the top of the pumpkin - we ask God to open our minds
  2. Scoop out the inside - we ask God to forgive us, and to take away the wrong things we have done
  3. Cut out the eyes - we ask God to help us see the needs of others around us, and give us ways in which we can help them. 
  4. Cut out the mouth - we ask God to help us speak works of love and encouragement. 
  5. Light the tea light - we ask for God's love to shine brightly inside us.
