Taming the Tongue

On Thursday, September 23rd, 23 5th and 6th graders got together for a great night of fun and fellowship at the church while learning a great lesson about respect and taming the tongue. It is so much fun seeing the "high energy" of the 5th and 6th graders and yet at the same time seeing them connect with God.

We had fun as we played dodge ball to pen the evening. But, we got serious and watched a video about Operation Christmas Child and sang a worship song before going into our connection games (4 corners and will it float). We then had our lesson via Club Respect on Taming the Tongue. The students then broke up into small groups to talk among their grade/gender on how they are with taming the tongue.

Hope to see you next Thursday.

Finger Rocket Wars

On Thursday night, September 16th, we had a 3-minute Finger Rocket War. it was girls vs. boys. I believe the boys won this time around, but the girls will no doubt come out on top when we play again or next week when we shift things up to another game.

Thursday, was our first night and it was exceleent. Here is what the schedule looked liked for those unable to attend.

6:30 - 7:00 was open fellowship and pizza time. The students played volleyball inside and basketball out on the courts. There were also many students who sat on the stage and talked while enjoying life. However, a dodge ball game broke out and many jumped aboard for that activity. When the evening, kicjed into full swing:

- welcome / announcements
- group games: finger wars, four corners, will it float
- worship song - salvation is here
- lesson
- scripture reading
- closing prayer
- clean up and candy (support compassion child)

Here are a few pictures from the finger rocket wars:











Our lesson was on respect and we looked at 1 Samuel 26 David still had respect for King Saul because God had put Saul in "authority".

Respect

In September, we are looking at RESPECT.

Respect is showing others they are important by what you say and do.

Below is a video that shares the concept of Respect.
