Like me over there if you're interested.  Maybe I'll get Kev to post a time or two?  or the kids?  :)

Halloween Heroes

I love Halloween!  The true celebration of All Hallows Eve.  Celebrating and remembering heroes of the faith.  Missionaries.  Martyrs.  It's really a good holiday!  So let me share my afternoon game that I created.  It's Halloween Hero Go Fish!  :)  Print two of each on card stock paper, cut and...  that's it!  Go Fish!  (Do you have Brother Andrew?)

Every October we read a Hero's biography.  And we also read Hebrews 11 - the Hall of Faith.  And we usually read about Stephen every year, too, the first known Christian Martyr.  This year, I'd like to make some luminaries with verses about light on them.  I'll just have the kids search "light" and pick what strikes a chord with them!

Happy Halloween!

Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, 
let us throw off everything that hinders 
and the sin that so easily entangles. 
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. 
For the joy set before him he endured the cross, 
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, 
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
