Fall Bulletin Board and Craft Idea

Here is a picture of last year's Fall Bulletin Board

1.  Each student painted to heart shaped leaves in red, orange, and yellow.

2.  The leaves were stapled to the bulletin board in a heart shaped pattern

over a construction paper tree.  

3.  The words "We are Falling More in Love with Jesus" were added.

4.  I used a bulletin board poster of Jesus that I had from another set.

Activity Two:
I also use two apples to make the concept of sin concrete.

.1. I bite one side of an apple for Eve and the other side for Adam.
2. I show how bright and white the apple is inside
and when we sin we don't realize at first how it changes us on the inside.
It changes our relationship with God and each other.
3.  Within a few minutes the apple starts to turn brownish

4.  After several days, we explore the difference between 

the apple with no bite and the apple with two bites.  

As we look at the apple with bites, I play the song "Sin is such a Yucky Thing" by Quigley James
