Craft of the Month--September

The air is turning cooler and the leaves are beginning to turn color and drift gently to the ground. It's autumn--time to think about getting back to school and bringing in the harvest. September crafts of the month include a paper bag scarecrow, an egg carton school bus, and a fruit of the Spirit apple garland.

“But the Fruit of the Spirit is

love,

patience,

kindness,

and self-control. 

Against such things there is no law.” 

Galatians 5:22-23
