Celebrating God’s Goodness in Fall

The world may start the fall season celebrating death and darkness, but we know the God of light and life! Let’s celebrate His goodness!

The trees burst into beautiful display just before the earth is covered with cold snow. Isn’t that like God to make beauty in every season! The harvest is in and we celebrate the Creator of it all, the Lord of the harvest. Soon Jesus will come for His harvest, His people — all those who have accepted Him as their Savior and have the fruits of His Holy Spirit growing within them! Praise God that He give us eternal life!

Un-Halloween — God’s Light Shines in and Overcomes Darkness

Unlike Halloween which celebrates darkness, we celebrate the Light which overcomes darkness. Jesus brings light and life to all who turn to Him. In this interactive presentation, we use the pumpkin as an object lesson of the salvation that God gives and how He puts His light within us.

THANKSGIVING OPTIONS:

Thank you for my Family!

Mom and Dad, you are so important to your child! You are a picture of God and we are so thankful for you! By the end of this presentation each family will have a center piece or an object to place beside their family member’s place, which will have messages of praise and thanks for them. Along the way there is a team-building exercise and lots of songs.

Celebrating God in the Holidays

God instituted the first holiday (Holy day) on the seventh day of creation, the Sabbath. He knew we would need a day of rest. Later God instituted others in Israel that brought the people together in fellowship and worship. They were also to remember important days and also looked forward to future events prophetically.

The holidays we often celebrate may be totally different, but we can take the opportunity to come together in fellowship and worship.
