Just Enoughother readings: Psalm 146, Galatians 1:11–24, Luke 7:11–17
This is a great oppor-tunity to talk about sharing and to tell stories about sharing a special treat. Allow participants to preach to each other one to one, and then maybe to tell each other’s stories to the whole group.
Props: Look for an unusual item to be packed in single servings (my favorite irony is the prunes marketed as candy-like). Or maybe more to the point, bring the same food item packed in single serving — a little packet of carrot sticks, say — and in different multiserving packages — a pound of baby carrots and a two-pound bag of full-size carrots, or a bunch with greens intact. Be wary, however, of anything commonly allergenic.
Especially if you’re using the Reynolds song, consider giving each participant a penny or two and seeing where they wind up.
Musical ideas: Malvina Reynolds’s “Magic Penny” (1955) makes a great focus for this service. You can teach it, sing it, dance it, and preach it.
