| Preparation:
None
What you will do during class:
You will pour a small mound of salt (about 1/4 of a teaspoon),
representing God's people into the middle of the saucer. Then you will
drop a very small amount of pepper over the mound of salt. Remove the
pepper, which represents harm or evil with the plastic spoon. Rub the
spoon vigorously over a piece of clothing to create static electricity.
When you place the spoon near the pepper, it will attach itself to the
spoon and will no longer be on top of the salt.
What you will say:
Today, I will show you how we can always trust in our Lord to protect
us, even when circumstances seem hopeless. This saucer can represent the
world, which we all live in. I am going to take some salt and place it
on the world. This salt represents God's people. Now as we know the world
is full of danger and evil. Let me take some of this pepper, and put it
on top of the salt. This pepper represents danger, and it is right on
top of God's people. How can we remove this danger? (Allow for responses
and explain how most suggestions would be hopeless or take forever.)
It may seem impossible to us, but God can do miraculous things. Let me
show you. (Take the spoon and rub it to create static electricity, and
then lift off the pepper.) You see, sometimes we are faced with danger
and have no clue how to escape. God is always there for us. He can keep
us safe no matter what. |
