Recent Youth Group Happenings...
To start with...I am sorry. Especially to those of you who have been anxiously awaiting this post--eh hem...M. Parker!
So here it is...
Our second meeting happened to be a veeeerrry small one. Lots of other things going on, so we had a quaint little group of three at Youth Group. This small group enjoyed shooting Q-tips at each other...and when asked what the "lesson" was for this activity---well the answer was "do you really need a lesson for Q-tip shooting??" :op hehe...sometimes, you just need to spend some time together in fellowship with a fun, harmless game!
And then last week--October 6th--we began a series of lessons on "The Armor of God" (said in our best loud booming voice!). This night was a basic overview of the scripture in Ephesians related to putting on our Armor.
After spending some time with the word, we then created out own armor...for a small, defenseless, weak shelled egg. We used 2 sheets of newspaper, 5 straws, and some masking tape to see if we could create armor that would protect the egg in a very far fall. Check out the armor created below.
In the end we only had one egg survive...but we took alot away from this lesson. The main lesson being that without the armor of God when we fall we often fall apart! We also learned that while sometimes we "think" our armor will work...it doesn't and we have to re-evaluate.
Up next--a little service project...A Potato Bar for Vespers Dinner...prepared and served by the Youth Groupies.
