Pumpkin Prayer

Pumpkin Carving Prayer

Dear God,

As I carve my pumpkin help me say this prayer:

Open my mind so I can learn about You;(Cut the top of the pumpkin)

Take away all my sin and forgive me for the wrong things I do.(Clean out the inside)

Open my eyes so Your love I will see;(Cut the eyes out in heart shapes)

I'm so sorry for turning up my nose to all you've given me.(Cut a nose in the shape of a cross)

Open my ears so your word I will hear.(Cut the ears shaped like the Bible)

Open my mouth so I can tell others You're near(cut the mouth in the shape of a fish)

Let Your light shine in all I say and do! Amen.(Place a candle inside and light it)

In Jesus Name T Shirt

Here's the T Shirt that will be worn by Gate City High School students at tomorrow nights homecoming football game. Recently, a prayer was said by a student at a Gate City High School football game and a complaint was filed and the ACLU contacted the school about it. So, now the students at GCHS have taken matters into their own hands...and are taking a stand for Jesus Christ.

The shirts are available at First Baptist Church Gate City and are priced at $8. The church number is 276-386-3281.
