The Pumpkin Prayer ....

Here are our children's Prayer Pumpkins .....








We have become a new creation when Jesus comes into our heart.



#1 Read Matthew 23:25-28



#2 Revelations 3:20



How is the stuff we pull out of the pumpkin like sin in our hearts ?



( Both yucky, they're inside us )



How is the way we clean out our pumpkin like the way Jesus cleans us out when we confess our sins ?



( All the yucky stuff is taken away )



After you have completed the face of the pumkin read 2 Cor 5:17 and Ephesians 2:10



How have we made this pumpkin a " New Creation " ?



( It started out only a pumpkin, now it is a Jack-O-Lantern )



How do we become a new creation, when Jesus comes into our hearts ?



( We learn to Love Him more... Our light shines and we become His Children )



#5. Read 2 Corinthians 4:7-10



When Jesus comes into our hearts, we become new creations.



#6. Read Matthew 5:14-16, then light a candle inside the pumpkin



Turn Off Lights



Discuss how God wants our light to shine before others ?



#7. Read 2 Corinthians 4:6



In what way does the candle light come through the pumpkin like, the way God wants our light to shine ?



Sing: This Little Light Of Mine



What happens when we hide our light so that others are unable to see it ?



Bring out a regular pumpkin....



If we live good Christian lives, in Gloryifying God, His light will always shine through, no matter what !!!
