Fridays 20th & 27th Jan

These two Fridays have been combined in to one blog, mainly due to the God Slot topics.

Anyway, on the 20th a member form the Methodist Church came along and shared he card making craft skills with the young people.  It was great to see all of them work on a table and make a card for someone special.

The God Slot looked at the parable of the Vine Workers and how they all got paid the same despite some working less than others.  Whilst it seemed unfair, the message is that we are all treated the same by God, all having the same reward.

Some needed to return to the card making before we got the parachute out and enjoyed "the washing machine" and "shark attack" games.  If you're not sure what these are, why not come along and find out.



The "Shark Attack" Game



Not sure what is happening here, but I think they're thinking about the next game!

 The 27th was a strange meeting, but I'm not sure why.  May be it was related to the end of the month, who knows.

Strangely, the God Slot continued the "unfairness" form the previous week.  The parable of the "Forgiven Debts" looked at two people with vastly different debts being cancelled.  Again, it seemed unfair, but God forgives sin and treats us all the same.

We then played with the parachute again (more washing machine) and a competition for one half to keep a ball on the parachute with the other trying to keep it off.  This was followed by "1 on 1" hockey, which was great fun.  (Sorry, pictures too blurred to be of any use).
