Last Sunday

I hope you all had a great time at the special animal blessing service! I heard that it was amazing :) I am excited to see you all this coming Sunday. I will post more about what is going on in the coming week later. Have a great evening!

It's all about trust

This coming Sunday we are going to do a lesson on trust. To start out we have a story the youth get to participate in, followed by a discussion. We will be doing a small coloring activity for the youth to take home after the discussion. To sum it all up and to help the visual and kinesthetic learners I have a game planned. The game involves trusting a partner to lead you through an obstacle course.

Marbles Everywhere

Last Sunday School we learned about lying and how it is always best to tell the truth, even when it is hard. We did a mad lib activity, filling in a silly story. After this we used the story to talk about how Jesus and God expect us to tell the truth and that it hurts them when we do not. One of the youth shared a story about a time when they lied and why if they could do it over they would not lie. After our activity and discussion we had some extra time and played several typed of games with marbles. The youth found it very entertaining how fast the marbles would slide on the concrete floor. We played marble shoot (pushing the marbles around with a broom and seeing who could get the least on their side), we played the traditional marble game where you try to knock the marbles out of a circle drawn on the ground (or in our case, on large paper), for the last game we tried to bounce the marbles off of the carpet and into a baseball cap. This last game seemed to be the youths favorite and it involved some math.
