your Fall Festival.
Halloween Tract, below!
Object Lesson: Have you ever seen a scarecrow?
Farmers use them in their fields. Do you know why? To scare away crows
and other kinds of birds that eat their crops. Wouldn't it be great if we could use
scarecrows to scare away frightening things in our lives? What are
some things that scare you? (allow for discussion). We can't use
scarecrows to scare away frightening things, but we do have someone that
has promised to be with us, to protect us and
to never leave us. We have Jesus, our Forever Friend. This is what the
Bible says he has promised his children: "The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid."
(Psalm 118:6) "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble."
(Psalm 32:7) and "I will never leave you
nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:5)
Let's pray and ask Jesus to help us
trust him to protect us (Pray specifically about the scary things mentioned
during your discussion. Thank God that he has
promised to protect us and never leave us.).
Today we will make a Scarecrow Lollipop to remind us that God will
protect us and never leave
us and because of
this, life doesn’t have to be scary!
What You Need: Tootsie
pops or round lollipop (do not remove paper); thin burlap cloth
(4"-5" square) enough to fit around the lollipop; rubber
band; 2"-3" round piece of green felt; orange and black
yarn;
strip of paper with Psalm 118:6 written on it or use the tract below; hole
punch;
permanent black marker; tacky glue or hot glue.
Directions: Place burlap
over lollipop. Wrap a rubber band around the "neck" of the
scarecrow to hold fabric in place. Draw
the eyes, nose and mouth using the black marker. Tie orange and black
yarn around the neck of the scarecrow. Glue round piece of green felt to
the top of the lollipop to form the hat* (you can dip the top of the
lollipop into the glue or hot glue a ring of glue around the lollipop
to cover the sides, back and brow of the face). Punch a hole in the strip of paper. Tie the Bible verse to the neck of
the scarecrow using another piece of yarn or attach the Scarecrow Lollipop to the
Halloween tract.
