Life Verse

Learn about group members through their favorite verses.

Supplies:
Index cards, Bibles, and a concordance

Activity:
Ask group members to write their "life verse" on their card. The verse should be one that's significant to them or represents a promise or calling of God in their life. If they don't have the verse memorized, they can look it up in the Bibles provided. If they don't have a particular verse that's important to them, they can use the concordance to look up verses related to an important word or concept (such as love, grace, obedience, etc.).

When everyone is finished, ask group members to share their verses and to explain why it's significant to them.
