Word Challenge: Using the letters from the word Harvest (H, A, R, V, E, S, T), how many other words can you make – e.g. you can make “TEA” or “VEST” or “STAR”. Can you find 50 words?!

There are 3 words you can make that structure how we think about Harvest:

(1)   HAVE – say thank-you to God for everything we have, the things he gives us.

(2)   STARVE – pray for those who don’t have enough (not just food, but shelter, clothes…)

(3)   SHARE – think about what we can do to share what we have & make the world fairer

Jesus talked a lot about these issues when he was alive. There are a few videos of these to watch this week, then some harvest activities. Then, next week we’ll think more about how we can be thankful for and generous with everything God gives us.

Prayer

  Dear Lord, thank you for giving us everything that we HAVE.

Help us to remember to praise you & say thank you for all the things you give us.

Help us to remember that not everyone has enough – even though you give enough to go round, some people still STARVE.

Help us to do what we can to SHARE what we have and make our world a fairer place. Amen.
