innards.)

• Wet towels for cleanup

Game Preparation

covering it with newspaper so soak
up an debris from the pumpkins.

toothpicks at each table

Game Play
1. Divide the group into teams
2. Give the teams one minute to cut up the pumpkin into at
least 10 pieces.

back together using the toothpicks to hold it together

minutes is the winner.

Application

wholeness in our lives. Things can become quite a mess. Yet
Christ restored us with his sacrifice on the cross. Its not

nails in his hands.
