SESSION OUTLINE
FOCUS (7-10 minutes)
Greet each person as they enter, and let them sit where they choose. Gather everyone together with these opening questions.
- What is the greatest material thing you’ve ever received?
- What would you call your greatest possession or treasure?
- Can you remember a time when you were so excited for something to come? A time that you just could not wait for what was to come next?
Take time between each question, letting them reflect on past experiences.
