Posted by Word Alive International Outreach | | Posted on 1:54 PM
When everyone arrives give them name tags and ask them to choose a penny from a bag. When everyone is seated ask them to look at the date on their penny. Ask them to think about something that happened to them that year.
Start with the oldest by asking "Does anyone have a penny with a date before 1950? 1960? etc. Start with the oldest date and work forward until the most recent penny is shared.
You can expect these types of responses, "1950 was the year my oldest son was born" "1988 I turned 35, just got divorced, was a single mom with two kids and thought my life was half over. But through the grace of God today I am 50 and happily remarried to a fine Christian man who is an excellent father to my children."
When the person stands they should give their name, how long they have been coming to your church (group, etc.) and then say something about the date. The answers can be funny, short or serious and allows each person to share as much or as little as they want.
