EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (10–30 minutes)
Read the passage found in Luke 9:10-17 together. Read through it without stopping the first time, then go through it again as a class, checking off the elements on the list the students made. If there are things on the list that didn’t show up in the reading, check the other Gospel accounts of the same event: Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-44, John 6:1-15.
Divide into three groups. Ask group one to read the passage again and talk discuss how the disciples felt during this whole event. Ask group two to talk about what one thing really stood out for them in the story. Ask group three to talk about what God’s message might be to them today from this story.
If you have time, change the group assignments so every group discusses each question.
Share the group discussions with the whole class.

APPLY: (7–10 minutes)
Hand out the Play Doh. Ask students to shape their Plah Doh into a dinner roll. If you have time and want to have some fun, offer a prize to the person whose Play Doh looks the most like a dinner roll—and reward that student with another roll!
Ask students to spend some quiet time, thinking about what God might be saying to them personally through today’s story. Ask them to shape their clay to symbolize that word from God to them. Promise students that this is a personal time and they will not have to share it with the class.
