Pumpkins!

Hi there! We are getting close to "Trick or Treat" day & last night we joined our new International Student, Crystal, to carve pumpkins! Crystal is from China. We have met with her a few times now & she is a real sweetie! This is the 1st time she has ever carved a pumpkin! We all had lots of fun & they turned out pretty good! Take a look!

And now for a true Halloween Story by - Liz Curtis-Higgs:
"A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?'
The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.'
God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed.
Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.' "


Luke 19: 10 - "For the Son of Man (Jesus) came to seek and to save what was lost (us)."
Happy Halloween Everyone!
