Attendees at St. Peter’s UCC Lynnville’s children’s harvest party talked about the hayride a week earlier at the church and how much they enjoyed it.

Now, they were back for some children’s activities.

Jack o’ Lanterns were first on the agenda, though there were a few squeals as kids felt the insides of a pumpkin. Seeds were saved to be taken home and roasted with recipes discussed.

Pastor Rebekah Thomas made a dirt cake and she read a poem, “I’m Like the Christian Pumpkin.” The pastor also took on the chore of showing the kids how to dunk for apples.
