Pizza Praise
Description
Generate discussions about creation with something youth love best-pizza! This discussion starter works great for a pizza party or lock-in. For this event, you'll need pizza dough and tomato paste. Ask kids to bring their favorite pizza toppings.
What to do
- Before you begin making the pizzas, read aloud a psalm that discusses God's creation, such as Psalm 8, 104, or 148.
- Ask everyone to take a few moments of quiet time to reflect on the psalm.
- Then have kids form small groups of three or four persons to make pizzas.
- Instruct students to use their toppings to express something about God's creation that came to mind as they read the verses. (e.g. They might make a fish with pepperoni scales and sliced green pepper for waves, or flowers or trees made from tomato slices and strips of green pepper.)
Take it to the Next Level
- While pizzas are in the oven, begin a discussion on creation with these questions:
- Why do you think God made the world the way he did? What there a purpose? Explain./li>
- What's your favorite thing that God made? Explain.
- How does God reveal himself to you through his creation?
- How do you fit in as a part of God's creation? For what reason were YOU created?
- How are you unique?
