More Fall Fun and a FaithWeaver Moment

Make a fall craft

Here is one that I like to do:

Autumn Leaf Sun Catchers
Decorate your windows with these wonderful Leaf Sun Catchers! You will need contact paper, tissue paper in fall colors, permanent marker, leaf shape patterns.

Cut a 5 x5 inch square of contact paper, put tape on the dull side and tape it to the table for each child. Peel of the backing so that the sticky side is facing the child. Have the children cut or tear small pieces of tissue paper and completely cover the piece of contact paper. Cover the first 5 x5 piece with another piece so that the tissue is now between the two pieces of contact paper. Trace a leaf shape onto the contact paper and cut out the leaf shape. Use a couple of pieces of clear tape to adhere the leaves to a window where the sun will shine through them.

Variation: You can sprinkle the tissue with water to make the colors bleed into each other. Let it dry before putting on the second piece of contact paper.

In KidsWorship the children learned about the Isrealites building the Tabernacle. The story is found in Exodus 35:4 - 36:38. Our focus was that we can all serve God.

Does serving God mean telling your friends about Jesus, or is it helping out those in need so they can see God through your actions? Maybe it’s both. Talk about ways each of you can serve God this week, and commit to keeping each other accountable as you seek to serve God.

God, thank you for the unique set of talents and skills you’ve given each of us in this family. Help us use our abilities to serve you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
