Welcome everyone to the fifth week of the study.
Ask each person to share their favorite name for God.
OPENING ACTIVITY
Say, “Any of you who have had a child go through the three-year-old stage has probably
endured months of one question on repeat: ‘Why?’ Sometimes we can tune out our
children’s questions, especially when they become unceasing.”
Ask group members to share a memorable question their child asked. It could be funny,
embarrassing, profound, or silly.
Ask group members to share a time their child asked them a question they couldn’t
answer.
