I came up with a great broken and restored lesson--probably nothing new for you guys. The BAR band routine I use--I break the rb and talk about how we have all messed up--broken our lives and covenant, etc.

Then I tie the band back together to talk about how we try to make things right to look better.--but everyone recognizes a tied rubberband. everyone knows a broken life when they see it

We try to make it look better--tearing down the ends of the band--making the knot smaller. but everyone still knows it is broken and there is no way we can make right.

then I restore the band and talk about how God can do what we can't--giving us a new beginnig...

taught it to youth group last night

WOW, talk about packs small, plays BIG. that's great. Guess I'm going to have to learn "The BAR band routine".
I'll bet the kids in the youth group loved it.
God Bless

That is very similar to a routine I use for a cut and restored rope, but I really like the application to the rubberband.

Thanks for sharing!

I liked the rubberband because it is easier to pack than rope. Thanks for the kudos guys.
