Scripture Sandwich

Plates 1 Nephi 1: 17 ... Bread John 6: 35 ... Spread Mosiah 3: 20 ... Mustard (strong) Matt. 17: 20 ... Meat John 4: 34 ... Ham Gen. 5: 32 ... Fish Levit. 11: 3-12 ... Cheese Joshua 24: 15 ... Lettuce Isaiah 2: 3 (1: 18) Chicken Matt. 23: 37 ... Roast pork Isaiah 61: 6 ... Eggs Jeremiah 5: 5 ... Apple Deut. 32: 10 ... Fish, cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic, all in Numbers 11: 5.

Also make a sandwich and wrap it in clingfilm. Pass it around from person to person after putting charcoal or paint on some hands. Also pass around a second sandwich which has not been wrapped in clingfilm. This will become very dirty. Explain that we cannot see the Holy Ghost (like the clingfilm is transparent) but we are protected from sin. Also put words on stickers on the clingfilm sandwich such as repentance, forgiveness, chastity, honesty, tithing - all protect us when we do them.
