Description

Autumn is the time when plants die and farmers gather their harvest. It’s a time to remember that we are going to die. Our death is the time when God, like the farmer, gathers His harvest. Those who were His “good and faithful servants” will be gathered by God and enter into heaven. God’s harvest is the saints!!
So whenever you see references to harvests at this time of year, remember that we are meant to strive (work really, really hard) to be part of God’s harvest. We should STRIVE to be saints!! And that is what November is all about – the saints! Someday I hope I will be good enough to be part of God’s fruitful harvest!
Strive to be Part of Gods Fruitful Harvest Craft
This craft might be a great craft at an All Saints Day celebration!
It is a simple coloring page and the kids add a picture of a saint to each pumpkin – symbolizing that the saints are God’s fruitful harvest.

You will need:

• Pumpkin Coloring page (PDF above)
• Pictures of saints (PDF above)
• Crayons, coloring pencils, markers, OR watercolors (you choose)
• scissors
• glue

This is super easy! Just have the kids color/paint the pumpkins and leaves. Then have them pick three saints to paste on the pumpkins. You may like to cut out the saint pictures before the kids create this project.
Don’t forget to have them add their name!
