MEMORY VERSE:  

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,

present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6 NIV

LESSONS:

Lesson 1 - GET CONNECTED

Scripture: Matthew 6:11, Daniel 6:3-10

How does a pumpkin grow? The longer it’s attached to the vine, the more daily nourishment

it receives. We need to pray for daily bread - daily spiritual food from God - so that

our faith can grow.

Objective: Kids will learn, “Prayer is something my soul needs everyday”.

Lesson 2 - LOSE THE GUNK

Scripture: Matthew 6:12, Matthew 18:21-33

Sin is what separates us from God. It’s why we need Jesus. Only Jesus can forgive our

sins, the same way we clean out the “gunk” inside a pumpkin. We need to ask him daily

for forgiveness and grace to forgive others.

Objective: Kids will learn, “Prayer is a time for me to ask for forgiveness”.

Lesson 3 - JOYFUL NOISE

Scripture: Matthew 6:9-10, Psalm 100:4-5

If Jack-o-lanterns could speak, they’d probably have a million different funny voices. We

have mouths that can speak, and God wants us to use them for praise. When we pray,

we should always remember to offer God thanks and praise.

Objective: Kids will learn, “Prayer is a time for me to praise and thank God”.

Lesson 4 - LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

Scripture: Matthew 6:13, John 8:12

The lights of a pumpkin sitting on a porch can guide us home on a dark night. God’s light

not only leads us away from temptation but lights the path we should follow. We should

ask God to give us direction away from sin and closer to Him.

Objective: Kids will learn, “Prayer is a time for me to ask for God’s protection and guidance.”
