- One pastor asked a child to climb a small step stool and then jump into the pastor's arms. It requires trust, a "leap of faith" and was compared to how God keeps us in His care. We can be grateful to God for such good care, and try to care for others as well.
- Ask children to open their hands and think of what God puts in them.
- Have a large, beautifully wrapped gift box. Ask the children to think about God's gifts to us, and if any of those gifts could be put in a box, what might be in this box. When they have imagined, include those suggestions in a prayer.
- A more whimsical approach asked for a child to literally step into an offering plate. If people give money when they put envelopes and bills and checks in the offering plate, what did the child do? "I gave myself."
