To begin the session:
Download the “All for One” worksheet here.
Make copies of the worksheet and distribute them to the class. Have the class work on this quiz individually or in groups to complete these quotes about unity. After a few minutes, reveal the answers. Answers are: 1=f, 2=c, 3=h, 4=a, 5=g, 6=d, 7=b, 8=e.
Lead into Bible study by saying, “Effective teams, groups, and nations work when they are unified in reaching for a shared goal. This is a truth recognized for centuries. Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus about that type of unity. Let’s see what he had to say.”
To encourage personal application:
Sometimes a secular song nicely summarizes a Bible text. The song “Let’s Work Together” has been recorded in a blues-inspired style, as a rock song, and as a country anthem. Find the lyrics on an internet lyrics sharing site and make copies for the class. You may wish to play the song in a style of your choice from a video sharing or music sharing site.
Close in prayer, rephrasing vv. 2-6 to begin this prayer. May unity be your class theme in 2018!
