Before your community group meets, write this phrase on construction paper: "When we work together we can do more for others." Cut the paper into six pieces. Keep one seperate from the others. During the activity, give children the remaining pieces while keeping the others hidden. Ask them to work together to complete the puzzle. When they realize they are missing a piece, give them your piece.
Talk about the importance of EVERYONE (no matter how young or old) in the church doing what God has called him to do. When a person doesn't do what God has called him to do, something is missing in the church.Encourage children at what they are good at doing. Examples: encouragement, prayer, listening to others, cheering people up. Encourage children to explore ways they can minister with other church members. Ask them what they are good at.
Direct their attention once again to Acts 6:7
Ask: What happened after more people got involved in helping the widows get food? (The church grew). It is the same way in our church. When more people use the skills God gave them, the church will grow because more people will get to know Jesus!!
