| Have you entered the “promised land?” After students have finished their posters, invite them to share them with the group but allow students to pass if they don’t want to talk about their poster. RESPOND: (5–10 minutes) Have someone from the class read Deuteronomy 26:10a Set the empty basket in the center of the room. Say: The Israelites brought baskets of produce they had raised to offer to God the first of the fruit of the land that God had given to them. What can we give to God as an offering representing the first of the fruit from the new life that we have experienced in Christ? What can we give to God that would demonstrate our thankfulness for the salvation we have experienced? What do we place in the basket? Brainstorm together what they could put in the basket. Encourage them to think of actual items but also ideas or representations of their offerings. Examples: Time, money, a year of service, worship. Ask students to search the hymnals or another contemporary worship songbook to find a hymn that would express thanks to God for the gift of salvation. Have the class choose one hymn and sing it together as a class. If a piano is available and someone can play, use it to lead the music. Close the class period with a prayer of thankfulness to God.
