Pumpkin Prayer

With the Fall comes the harvest season-and I'm sure you're seeing those pumpkins
springing up in the stores!


Here's a great little "Pumpkin Prayer" activity you can use when you carve your pumpkin




Dear God,

As I carve my pumpkin, help me say this prayer:

Open my mind so I can learn about You; (Cut the top of the pumpkin)

Take away all my sin and forgive me for the wrong things I do; (Clean out the inside)

Open my eyes so Your Love I will see; (Cut eyes shaped like hearts)

I'm sorry for turning up my nose to all You've given me; (Cut a nose in the shape of the cross)

Open my ears so Your Word I will hear; (Cut ears shaped like the Bible)

Open my mouth so I can tell others You're near; (Cut mouth in the shape of a fish)

Let Your Light shine in all I say and do! Amen. (Place a candle and light)
