5. Activity
Play some music as the pumpkin head
is passed around. When the music
stops, (like pass the parcel) the youth
holding the head feels through its
‘brains to find some candy.”

the lost coin
3. Discuss the things people search for in life and the
garbage they sift through in order to find it. Discuss the
search for God.
