Worship with Legos?




My mother-in-law works with Northwest Community Church , here in Phoenix. She had been at some sort of conference for children workers or something. Anyway, they had a guest speaker from some children’s ministry magazine & he had walked them through several spiritual experiences. We heard about this one & used the idea at The Bridge. I really have no idea who it was or what magazine he was from, but I have a nagging suspicion that he was from Group Publishing … Anyhow, we laid out some off-brand Lego wannabes (what can I say – I’m cheap) and put out a sign with the following:

“Pick up a Lego. Feel the rough bumps. Imagine that those bumps are things that God wants to smooth out & remove from your life – what are they? Feel the side with the holes in it. Imagine that these holes represent needs in your life that God desires to fill – things that God wants to put into your life… What might those be? Connect your Lego to the others – notice how they fit together to make something bigger and better than themselves – in what way are you connected to the lives of those around you?”
