Pumpkin Unit

For a couple of weeks, the student have been learning about pumpkins.   To finish our unit, the students heard the Parable of the Pumpkin.  They learned that just like every pumpkin is different, God created each of us different and special.  They all got to help me pull out all of the yucky pulp and seeds from the inside of the pumpkin.  That yucky, slimy pulp is like the sin that's in all of us.  God made a way that all of our sin can be forgiven and washed away.  He gave us His Son, Jesus Christ.  After cleaning out the pumpkin, we gave the pumpkin a new face.  The Bible says that God can make us a new creation too.  Then came the very special part.  The light was placed inside the pumpkin.  We can become like that pumpkin - a glorious sight for others to see the love of Jesus in us!

After the lesson, we then roasted our pumpkin seeds.  Twenty-one out of twenty-three students loved the seeds.
