The Garden of Eden and the Forbidden Fruit helped the children learn that temptation can lead us away from God and the person God wants us to be.   Here the children get ready to eat the candy apples that they made.

It’s surprising that salt is one of the ingredients in ice cream.   Salt makes lots of food taste better.  So, as the children made their own ice cream they learned that Jesus said that he wants us to be the salt of the earth.  Just as salt can make food better we can make life better for others and ourselves with our deeds of loving kindness.

Jesus told the Parable of the  Vineyard to help us understand that jealousy isn’t good for us.  We need to rejoice and be happy when good things happen to others.  After the Children’s Message, the children went up to Fellowship Hall to make homemade jelly.

The Parable of The Mustard Seed:  God takes a little seed and makes a giant tree out of it.  In the same way God takes our little deeds of love and make wonderful things out of them.     Here the children plant mustard seeds and get ready to make some homemade mustard which they then sampled of pretzels and hot dogs.
