Well, it's a pickle that is connected to 120v of electricity. It lights up, much to the delight of all who witness it.
I wanted to share it with you because it is a great example of what the kids are going to be learning in Kids Church over the next couple months.
Throughout the Fall, we're going to be teaching the kids about spiritual fruit.
We began a couple weeks ago by learning that God's Word in us is like a seed. This past week, the kids discovered that being connected to Jesus causes that seed in us to produce spiritual fruit for all to see (pickle connected to electricity = awesome / us connected to Jesus = way more awesome).
Over the next couple of weeks, the kids will learn that we need to make that fruit grow by strengthening our relationship with Jesus. During the months of October & November, the kids will be learning the Fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control).
As you pray for your kids in the coming months, please pray that they will learn to produce spiritual fruit in their lives. Most kids are pretty open to accepting Jesus into their lives, but the step from planting the seed to producing fruit is a big one, and it can especially difficult for kids as it can be a pretty abstract concept.
This is going to be an exciting series, and I pray that your children will be changed and will grow spiritually as we finish this year. Thanks for allowing our Kids Ministry team to be a part of your family's spiritual journey.
