Pick a Card Discussion Activity
This is a “pick a card” discussion activity. Cut out the cards below and put them in a stack. Each question or discussion starter is designed to help the person see ways that God is revealed in daily life. Take turns picking a card and responding. This is a great “car-time” activity.
