Harvest & Provision
Give us this day our daily bread
Scripture & Jesus with us
“The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land… When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord.”
— Deuteronomy 8:7–10Harvest is a time to remember the Giver, not only the gift.
“Give us today our daily bread.”
— Matthew 6:11Jesus teaches us to ask for enough for today, with trust.
“You care for the land and water it… You crown the year with your bounty.”
— Psalm 65:9–11God is still the One who crowns the year.
Three-class breakdown
Class 1 — Wonder & Observation
Taste (if safe) or smell a fruit, grain, or herb. “Who planted this? Who sent the rain?”
Class 2 — Scripture & Teaching
Daily bread. Jesus fed people and still teaches us to pray for enough. Gratitude before grabbing.
Class 3 — Creation Response
Assemble a First Fruits Basket — a small share of produce or pantry goods to give away.
Signature take-home
First Fruits Basket
- Choose a small basket or bag.
- Add one thing you grew, bought, or baked.
- Pray over it.
- Give it to a neighbor or a family in need.
Parent tips
Let the child help choose the gift. Talk about God providing before we ever planted.
Journal: What we gave. Who we thanked. One daily-bread prayer.
