9:00 - 9:30 Who Are You Game

Youth/Activity Center only!

Who Are You 

Everyone finds a partner and faces each other standing in a line with everyone else. Then the sponsors pick a side and stick a description on the back of one side of the line. Turn the stickered partners around all together and have their partner make one statement or ask a question to describe who/what they are. Without using any of the words in the description. Then shift the line down one to the right bringing the one bumped off to the other end and repeat until someone guesses who/what they are. Have the correct guessers step forward and have a seat with whom ever they have behind them at the time. Play until everyone guesses correctly.

9:30 - 10:00 Strange Photo Contest

All Church

Supplies: Polaroid cameras.

Form groups of five. Give groups 10 minutes to go around in the church and take 5 of the strangest photos they possibly can. The only rules are that the photos must be in good taste, show concern for safety, and include at least one group member in each photo (all group members must be in at least one picture). One sponsor goes with each group to take the photos. No looking at the other teams photos.

Some strange photo ideas to get kids started might include: 

* Group members sticking out their tongues at each other.

* Group members posing with baby toys.

* Group members posing in odd arrangements. 

Then, present the pictures and have the youth rank the pictures from most to least strange. Create three sections on a long table and have youth from other teams come up and sort the photos from the least strange photo to the best.

 

10:00 - 10:45 One Step To Close 

Lesson - Youth/Activity Center

Say: The adolescent years are when teenagers are questioning their values and beliefs the most. You watch TV & movies, listen to the radio & MP3 players, surf the Internet, and hang out with friends-all these influence and shape your values and behaviors.

Imagine yourself without a drivers license or grounded from the car. You really want the freedom that comes with transporting yourself so you leave your home and go stand by the car, nothing wrong with standing by the car, right? Then you notice the keys to the car are somehow in your pocket, nothing wrong with having the keys with you, right? You open the door and sit in the car, nothing wrong with sitting in the car. You put the keys in the ignition and turn it just enough to turn on the radio, nothing wrong with listening to the radio, right? You close the door for better sound, nothing wrong with improving the sound, right? You notice the gas gage is low and think, "I'll just go put in a few bucks of gas and get a drink at QT". After all, what if someone needs the car and there's barley any gas in it. Your parents should thank you for being so thoughtful, nothing wrong with being thoughtful, right?

What's the point? Each little action has moved you closer to disobedience. You are able to convince yourself one little step at a time that it's okay to take another step closer to breaking a trust or the law. Think of how these steps apply to other times in your life when you are doing something that's not necessarily wrong but a step closer to being wrong. Tonight you will be given some freedom to be creative. There is a good chance that you will be tempted to take a little step closer to wrong because it's funny. Over the last few months we've had enough discussions about "funny but wrong" that you should be able to tell what will be okay to film and what needs to be left out.      

A Knotty Game 

Have the guys kneel on all fours together in a huge human knot. Have them lock their arms and legs. Then let the girls try to pull them apart. The only rules are no hitting, pinching, or kicking, causing pain-only pulling. Guys can't crawl/move back to where they were as they are pulled away. Give them a few minutes.

ASK: 

* What was hard about trying to pull them apart?

* Was it hard for the guys to stick together when they were being pulled away?

* Did the girls want to give up?

* What made the guys stick together so tightly?

Say: Some people make choices and try to stick with them. The further away from holding fast the harder it is to cling to values. Like the human knot, it's important to surround yourself with people who have the same values and can hold each other accountable.

 

What's Your Tube Tuned To?

Ask:

* Do behaviors fall in line with your values and beliefs? Rate yourself on a scale of 1-5 using your fingers. (1 being "my behaviors don't reflect my values at all" and 5 being "my behaviors match my values all the time").

Explain to the group that the longer a person's behavior is inconsistent with his beliefs, the more his beliefs will change to match his behavior.

* When you think that something is wrong, but you go ahead and do it anyway-

- How do you feel?

- Why did you choose to do it?

- Do you feel guilty later? Guilt isn't always bad-it was designed by God to pull our behavior patterns in line with our value system. When we stop feeling guilty for the inconsistency in our lives, then we're in serious trouble.

 

Read the following Bible verses, and try to understand the message.

Luk 6:43-45 "For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

 

Gal 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.

 

Rom 7:15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. (Rom 7:21) So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.

 

Rom 14:22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves.

 

The Close 

Say: I encourage you to think about good values and then try to live consistently with them. If you feel that you fall short of what God wants, know that even a little improvement over time is better than no improvement at all. Know that funny and inappropriate are just another step closer to the wrong direction.

* The Fastest Licker Description: Use the twisted Valentine plexy glass. Place a glob (or two for four people) of peanut butter on both sides of the glass. Put as much as you like, but make sure it doesn't drip. Then give them 30 seconds to lick as fast as they can. Make variations.

* Sing along your own way. Act out the story

11:30 - 1:00 Under Ground Church

Video Taped - All Church

(Go Get Pizza NOW!)

Underground Church 

Players are; Underground Church, Followers, or Guards.

There is one "Church" (a group of three).  The church is given a set amount of time to go and hide.  The Church becomes the Guards for the next round.

There are "Guards" (number depends on the size of the "Church").  The Guards try to keep the church from growing.  If a Guard tags a follower the Guard and the follower must willingly go to the jail. The follower must remain in jail until at least 5 minutes have passed.

The "Followers" try to find the Underground Church without being tagged by the Guards or giving away where the Church is.  If a Guard finds the Church the round is over.  Once the church reaches 10 the round is over and the UNDERGROUND CHURCH has survived!

3:30 - 4:30 Totally New Kinda Scavenger Hunt

All Church

Find the Sponsor Scavenger Hunt

Have kids form teams of 6-ish well-mixed people, and give each team the same clue at the same time to start the game. After kids figure out the clues, have them stay as a team to search the church building and find Kris with or without the item. When they find Kris he'll give them a buck or two. Then they return to the Activity Center to buy their next clue. All clues cost a buck. The team with the most bucks wins.

Hint: don't make a commotion when you find Kris, you'll be tipping other teams off as to where he is.
