Stepping Out

Group members go outside to look for evidence of God's presence.

Take your group outside in the yard or street. Assign each of them a number from 1-10, and two people can have the same number. Have your group members stand in a small circle facing outward instead of toward the middle of the group. Tell them that on the word "go" they are to take as many steps as the number assigned to them. When they have taken their steps, ask them to look around them and find one thing that reminds them of God's presence and work in their lives. Give them a minute or two. Have them turn around and walk back to the tight, small circle and share what they saw.
