The document describes an object lesson on prayer using a pumpkin. It involves carving a pumpkin and relating each cut or action to a line of prayer, such as cutting out the top to ask God to open one's mind, removing the innards to remove things that don't please God, and lighting a candle to help show God's light to others. The document also advertises a Holiday Collection resource with over 300 pages of ideas for holiday events and activities.
