Today in Sunday School we talked about how God gives us strength when we need it. We played a game were we blew paper cups off of a table, all the cups could be blown off easily and quickly. Then we put a rock in each cup (God's strength God puts within us) and found that the cups could not be blown off of the table. Following this we did a craft that represented God's strength to us. After this we had some extra time so blew bubbles, trying to catch them with the wand and see how many we could pile up (the record was 7!). We ended our morning playing uno :)

Deja vu

Since we did not get a change to do this lesson last Sunday I have bumped everything back a week....

In class on Sunday we will be talking about Luke 23.26-24.7 and Ephesians 6.17. The first thing we are going to do is play the "unfair trade game". This game is to show that sometimes when you trade in an item you have, you get a better item. We will be asking "how is this fair?", "what if you were on the other side of the trade?", and "why would someone be willing to take a lesser item and give you a better item?". After our game and discussing those questions we are going to make marshmallow people! We will talk about "what if..." with these marshmallow people. After we finish the discussion (and chow down if the youth wishes), we will be making salvation helmets and talk about how God protects us.

If you/your youth has a Bible and wishes to follow along with the readings while in class (for read them before class), they are welcome to bring it in! If you do not have one, do not worry, I have many extras that will be bookmarked to the appropriate story for in class use.

Last Sunday myself and one other youth spent our time coloring in "impossible coloring pages" and talking about how "Spore" is a game that God would like and how the two relate. It was a rather interesting conversation.
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I hope you all had the time to relax and enjoy it!

I hope to see you all there! If I don't then have a wonderful 4th of July :)
