Lesson:

Pennies- A penny doesn’t seem worth anything.  You can’t get anything for a penny! BUT, when you put pennies together they become worth something.  Like Christians who work together. Alone we don’t accomplish much, but together we can do great things for God. We learned before that everyone has an important job like the Ladybugs, and if we cooperate and use our talents together, great things happen!

Need: a couple dollars worth of pennies

Cookies—Mmmm…I have a cookie here..you want one!? I offer to share my cookies, but give them the bag of ingredients..ick!  But when the ingredients are mixed together they are much better tasting. Like wise, church people who work together are much more effective. Need: bag of cookies, bag of ingredients

Working together:  As believers we need to work together.  Use one volunteer to pop all the bubbles, a lot are missed the job isn’t quite complete.  But when you work together with other believers, the job gets done effectively.  Need: Bubbles and big wand
