Reflection Activity: Hear from God
WHAT YOU NEED: metal spoons, string or yarn, craft sticks
WHAT YOU DO:
o How is the sound different from when you tapped the spoon
when it wasn’t on the string?
o What happens to the sound when you change the spoon size?
o What if you shorten the string by grabbing it closer to the spoon?
o What if you strike the spoon with a different object?
Read:
Just like you hear the sound as it travels up the string to our ears, you can HEAR from God, too. With help (like the strings) we can hear god more loud and clear. Reading the Bible is one way we can hear from God. What if you had a question about something you read in the Bible? You could talk to someone you know is a follower of Jesus and ask them to help you understand what God is saying. Sometimes you can HEAR from God when you talk to other people who know Him.
Last week we talked about how creation points us to God. you can HEAR from God when you take a closer look at what God has created; you can hear how much God loves you by the things He created to take care of you and by the things He created for you to enjoy. What are some examples of those things?
God wants you to know Him, and He gives you many ways to hear what He has to say.”
WHAT YOU DO:
- Hold the spoon in his hand, and instruct everyone in the group to try tapping the spoon with a craft stick. - what sound do you hear?
- Take a string or yarn and tie it around the spoon in the middle of the yarn. Now hit the spoon with the craft stick again? What do you hear?
- Take the ends of the yarn, wrap them around your fingers and stick your fingers in your ears. Lean forward so the spoon is hanging and have someone hit it with the craft stick. Now what do you hear?
