Material
Steps
Material
- Gummy worms
Steps
- Say, “This little worm is made of gelatin and sugar.
- We can pull him a bit and stretch him out; however, if we pull him too hard, we will break him.
- The bible says, “Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” (Isaiah 64:8)
- Sometimes potters have to stretch the clay to make it into a new shape. If they didn’t, the clay would remain a lump, not useful for anything.
- Let’s see how far we can stretch this worm. (Stretch the worm using your hands.)
- Wow, that stretched pretty good but I’m not a good potter like God.
- When God stretches us, to make us into something awesome, He won’t break us.”
