| "IT ISN'T ALWAYS PRETTY" by Carol Duerksen | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 86
|
||||||||||||
| Ask each group to read their chapter, then divide their poster into a puzzle and put the highlights of their chapter onto the puzzle pieces. This could take a fair amount of time—some of the chapters are a bit lengthy and have a lot going on. When all of the groups have completed their poster puzzles, cut them up into puzzle pieces and put them together in a pile. Then have students sort them by color, and each group takes a color that was NOT their poster. Each group then assembles the puzzle they have now. When each group has put together the puzzle that was created by a different group, share the stories from each chapter, beginning with chapter 16. Discuss: • What are the good things and bad things happening in this family? • Did you know there was so much dysfunction in this Biblical family? APPLY Hand out the copies of the article at the end of this session and read it together as a class. Discuss: • Does this sound like families you know? • What are some of the things that cause families you know to be “broken”? • What are signs that there is healing and hope for the brokenness? RESPOND Blend cookies, milk, and ice cream in blender to make milk shakes for students. While they enjoy their shakes, talk about the blending of the broken cookies with milk and ice cream to create the delicious treat. Make the analogy that God can create good things out of brokenness in families, and that there is hope even when “everything isn’t pretty and perfect.” Invite students to share as much (or as little) as they want to during this time. Pray together for family situations that they are a part of or that they are aware of. Download this Session's Reproducible Skit PDF - "Broken & Blended" |
