Pizza
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Romans 12:4-5
Our bodies have many parts, just as our family has many people. We need everyone to help out, just as we all can help out making pizza!

Taco Pasta
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body… Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
1 Corinthians 12:12-14
All the different parts of the pasta work together to make a yummy dinner! Just as the parts of the church work together to help everyone worship on Sunday (or enjoy youth groups, kid’s clubs and so on!)
