Items

Which item represents your view of God this week?

Collect these items before your group meeting: a TV remote control, a cell phone, a key, a pair of scissors, glue. Put the items in a basket. Pass the basket to your right. Have each member take turns drawing one of the items out of the basket and completing this sentence: "God has been like this ________ to me this week." Give them the opportunity to explain their answer.
