FAITH ACTIVITY
I had this page with homemade ice cream pulled out of Family Fun magazine and the D6 Splink email this week had an activity to use with it! Yay...don't you love when God meets you where you are?
You Scream, I Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream!
Make ice cream to illustrate that works show we have faith.
Items needed for each person:
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup milk or half & half
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons rock salt (table salt works too)
1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)
1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
Ice cubes
Show ingredients and ask: Do you believe these ingredients can become ice cream?
If so, then shake the mixture in the bags.
How to make it:
Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
Shake until the mixture is ice cream (which takes about 5 minutes).
Wipe off the top of the small bag, and then open it carefully. Enjoy!
You showed your belief that what I said was true by shaking the bags. We show our faith in God by believing what He has said in the Bible is true and then living it out—doing what He has told us to do. Works show that we have true faith!
