Pumpkin Object Lesson

Byron has a yearly tradition of carving a pumpkin during the morning worship service sometime during the "Halloween" season. He does the carving while giving an object lesson of how God can clean out our yucky insides (sin) and leave His light inside of us so that we can shine for Him in our dark world. That is an overly (very) simplistic summary but suffice it to say that everyone loves it and it is usally requested each year. Here are a couple pictures of the process.



Byron had someone shut off the lights in the church and he lit the candle inside the pumpkin. It was really neat!!!

I love reading this "lesson" every time it comes to my email box. I am thinking about using it for our kid's club night, the kids would love it.
