KAREN loves kids. Loves ’em! She’s always been one of the

first to volunteer to help in your children’s ministry. But

the hours of preparation and study are wearing her down.

And lately it seems she’s usually busy on Sundays.

ThEN you heard the buzz about a curriculum they called

“instant.” Could a no-prep Sunday school actually work?

Now Karen just opens the box and gets going. She’s free to do what

she does best—share her love of Jesus with kids…and change their

lives forever.

GETTiNG more volunteers—and keeping them longer—is something

you don’t have to worry about anymore. You can aspire for more in

children’s ministry with Buzz Sunday school.

Volunteers love it because it’s easy. Kids love it because it’s different every week. YOU’LL love it because…

• Buzz is perfect for busy volunteers. Since all they prepare is their heart, you’ll never burn them out.

• Buzz keeps kids’ attention with Bible stories they haven’t heard before—those less often told but just as memo-rable. Children learn in their own style, and they choose which way the lesson goes.

• You simply open the box and go. Teachers follow the lesson step by step, experiencing God’s Word together with the kids.

Group’s Buzz Sunday school curriculum gives you every-thing you need to be a super success. And best of all, you’ll bring kids closer to Jesus!

Week 11: February 10

God Is the Potter, We Are His Clay JEREMIAH 18:1-17 We rely on God’s plan.

What the Bible Says

The Lord gave a message to Jeremiah: Go to the potter’s shop, and be ready to hear from God there.

At the potter’s shop, the potter was working at his wheel. When the jar he was making turned out poorly, he crushed it into a lump of clay and began again.

God gave Jeremiah a message: God could do to Israel what the potter had done to the clay. Israel was clay in God’s hands.

If God chose to spare a nation, that nation would be spared. If the nation turned to evil, he’d withhold his blessings. Jeremiah was to warn all the people of Judah and Jerusalem that God was planning disaster for them. They were to turn from evil to what was right.

Unfortunately, the people stubbornly refused to comply with God’s instructions.

Because of their disobedience, their land would become desolate. They’d be scattered—and God would refuse to take notice of their distress.

What It Means

Hearing that God has a plan for you is great. Hearing that God’s plan includes the word disaster is a tad less agreeable.

Yet that’s the message God gave Jeremiah for God’s people. Their disobedience warranted God getting their attention in a way that would most certainly leave an impression.

Notice that even though God’s plan included difficulties, the ultimate intent was to turn his people back to himself, to redeem them, and to call them home.

Why It Matters

God’s people were about to learn, or perhaps relearn, a crucial lesson: They were clay in God’s hands.

And so are we. God decides what our futures will hold. God sets circumstances and situations in place that give us the opportunity to grow. It’s God who shapes the clay—and sometimes he rolls us up into a lump again and starts over.

But his plans always include the desire to redeem the clay. Rely on it.

26 27

Prayer Starter

Pray that your kids see God’s plan to draw them close to himself and use them in his world. Pray that they trust God. Write your prayer here.

This week, look for some original art: handmade pottery, blown glass, unique paintings. Each piece reflects the intent of the artist—the artist’s careful plan, beautifully revealed in clay or glass or paint.

How does God speak to you through that artwork? What do you see that gives you insight into why God the creator, the artist, has created you? How does that artwork help you discover God’s plan for your life?

We know you care about kids… We do, too! That’s why we attempt to ensure that all crafts, toys, and gizmos meet or exceed national safety standards—and are pro-duced by manufacturers that don’t use child labor or abuse their labor force. You can order Group resources knowing that in addition to caring for your kids, you’re also caring for children elsewhere.

Let’s keep kids safe! We strive to provide products that are mechanically reliable and hold together during normal, intended usage. Items are also checked for flammability, and both paint and surface coatings are checked for heavy metals—including lead.

You can help your children stay safe by seeing that toys and gizmos are used as designed, for the purposes designed, and that any broken pieces are disposed of promptly and properly. We value your feedback. If you become aware of a problem affecting the safety of any of our products, please inform us immediately.

Smart: The kind of activity on each card is labeled here. For more infor-mation on the smarts, see the end of this booklet or look in your Leader Devotions introduction on page 4.

POINT WE RELY

ON GOD’S PLAN.

Have kids each find a partner. In each pair, give one person (the Artist) paper and one of the Mini Colored Pencils. Give the other (the Sculptor) a lump of Rainbow Clay. Instruct Art-ists to secretly draw a picture on the paper. While they’re drawing, take the Sculptors to the other side of the room and secretly instruct them not to follow the directions the Artists are about to give and instead just sculpt whatever they want to.

Then have partners sit back to back so they can’t see each other’s creations. Have each Artist give instructions to the the Sculptors on how to sculpt the drawing. Then have kids leave the drawings and sculp-tures where they are and turn to face each other. Give everyone a Bible.

SAY: We’ll see how well you followed your partner’s plan in a minute. God gave the Israelites, who had turned away from him, a warning and also the opportu-nity to turn from their evil ways and follow him again. With your partner, read about the Israelites’

choice in Jeremiah 18:1-12. One of you will read the first six verses, and then the other partner will read the last six verses. Allow several minutes for reading.

ASK: Tell about a time you made something that didn’t turn out as well as you expected.

How does that compare to the potter and God’s mes-sage to the Israelites?

SAY: It’s time to see how well you followed your partner’s plan for your sculpture. Allow about 20 seconds for kids to compare.

ASK: Artists, what was your reaction when you saw that your partner didn’t follow your instructions?

What did this passage teach you about following God’s plan?

SAY: Today’s Whozit name for God is the Potter. That means God has a specific plan for each of our lives, and there’s trouble when we go against it. WE RELY ON GOD’S

PLAN and trust that as the Potter, he knows what’s best for us.

POINT WE RELY

ON GOD’S PLAN.

SAY: In the passage we read today, we learned that God used two different ways to communicate his plan to the Israelites. First, he used the example of the potter and clay to make his point. Second, he sent Jeremiah to tell the people very clearly what would happen. In verse 11, God says (through Jer-emiah), “I am planning disaster for you instead of good. So turn from your evil ways, each of you, and do what is right.” This passage clearly shows God’s plan for the Israelites.

ASK: Tell about a time you thought you knew what God wanted you to do.

Tell about a time it was hard to know what God’s plan for you was.

SAY: Working individually, write down three questions you’d like to ask God about his plan for your life. Pass out paper and pencils, and allow time for writing.

SAY: Let’s look at another passage that talks about God as The Potter. Have a willing child read Romans 9:20-21. Even when God’s plan doesn’t make sense to us, WE

RELY ON GOD’S PLAN. After all, he’s the Potter!

POINT WE RELY

ON GOD’S PLAN.

Form two groups.

SAY: God wanted the Israelites to change their ways and get back to following his plan. God compared himself to a potter who shapes and reshapes the clay until it’s just right.

I’ll read three short story plots. After each one, you’ll get one minute to talk with your group about how to reshape the plot to show what would happen if the kids were relying on God’s plan.

Read the following story plots one at a time, allowing time between each plot for each group to discuss its changes and then act out its version of the story for the other group.

Some kids are choosing teams for football. There’s one boy no one wants, so kids groan and roll their eyes when the boy joins their team.

There’s a new substitute teacher, and everyone in the class gives the substitute a hard time by being rude.

Some friends are playing a game. A younger child comes and asks if he can play, too. The older kids say no and go back to playing the game.

ASK: What are some other choices people make that aren’t God’s plan?

What’s one way you can let let God reshape you this week?

SAY: Our stories turn out much bet-ter when we let God shape the way we think. WE RELY ON GOD’S

POINT WE RELY

ON GOD’S PLAN.

Pass out Bibles, paper, and Mini Colored Pencils. SAY: In today’s pas-sage, we heard about how God is like a potter. Just as a potter slowly makes the clay into a beautiful work of art, God slowly molds our hearts to be more like his. Using paper and Mini Colored Pencils, create an advertisement for God’s Pottery Studio. Refer to Jeremiah 18:1-10 again for ideas.

Give kids time to review the verses and create their ads. Then tape all the ads to the walls around the room, and allow several minutes for kids to walk around and look.

ASK: What appeals to you about God being your Potter? What scares you?

Advertisements, such as the ones you created today, are meant to catch your atten-tion. How has God tried to get your attention recently?

SAY: I’m so glad God is the Potter in my life and that I don’t have to figure things out on my own. He’s the perfect Creator, and he has a perfect plan for our lives. That’s why WE RELY ON GOD’S PLAN.

POINT WE RELY

ON GOD’S PLAN.

Have kids get in a circle, and place a Buzz Springster in the middle. Have one person stand it up, push it down, and then release it so it jumps. Decide who the Buzz Springster landed closest to, and have that person briefly share a decision he or she made recently. It could be an everyday decision, such as what to eat or what to wear, or it could be a bigger decision, such as which group of friends to hang out with or how to handle a tough situation at home.

After sharing, that person should push and release the Buzz Springster again to determine the next person to share. Continue until everyone’s had a turn.

SAY: God had Jeremiah assure the Israelites that God had a plan for them. God has a plan for each one of us, too.

ASK: Explain how detailed you think God’s plans are—just for the big decisions, for what you should eat and wear, or somewhere in between?

What are some things you can do to discover God’s plan for you?

SAY: WE RELY ON GOD’S PLAN. Let’s ask him to help us this week.

PRAY: Dear God, please show us the decisions you want us to make this week. Help us to more clearly understand your plan. In Jesus’ name, amen.

quESTionSActivities are always

debriefed with meaningful questions that get kids thinking and talking about faith.


Kids will be eager to initiate these game-like experiences that encourage faith conversations with their parents. These fun and simple weekly conversation pieces help families grow in faith together.

In each kit you’ll get 13 sheets of 10 perforated cards–one for each week for up to 10 kids. Need more? Photocopy them on cardstock for your unexpected visitors to make sure every-one is included in bringing the faith conversation home!

here’s why we think you’ll love the new Faith Buzz at home Cards:

There’s a new card every week—making it easy to give to every child!

Reproducible cards means you’ll never have to worry about running short if your attendance unexpectedly surges.*

Faith Buzz at home is more than just a family activity. The card itself becomes a gizmo as kids and their families use it in a playful way to unpack that week’s truth.

The cards are dated to make it ultra-easy to get the right week in each child’s hands.

* Note: We recommend using cardstock for photocopies, as many of the activities won’t work on regular paper. On occasion, there may be some activities that will only work with the original printed card sheets.

Group’S r.E.A.L. diFFErEncE...The fact that our curriculum works is not a fluke. We call it our R.E.A.L. philosophy:

w rELAtionAL—Kids become friends as they learn.

w ExpEriEntiAL—they do more than listen or read— they experience the lesson.

w AppLicAbLE—Children learn to become doers of the Word.

w LEArnEr-bASEd—they draw closer to Jesus in their own unique way.

Group’S MiSSionWe equip churches to help children, youth, and adults grow in their relationship with Jesus.

StAtEMEnt oF FAithWe believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his death on the cross, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return. We believe people receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life through Jesus.
