  • Nasty - Small Group Video Study

    Nasty - Small Group Video Study

    Objective
    Do students really experience peer pressure? Is there literally someone “making” them smoke cigarettes, drink liquor or smoke weed? The threat is peer influence. Peer influence gradually and consistently speaks “do as I do,” hoping we eventually give up, give in, and then give out. In this session youth will learn to identify peer pressure and peer influence and ways of defusing them both.

  • Pain Principle

    June 13, 2009

    devotional
    Set: 

    Pain gets our attention. When our bodies get injured, infected, or hurt, pain forces us to take action toward healing. If there were no pain, we would not take steps to mend the injury, resulting in further damage. Pain forces us to respond to emotional ailments as well. How we respond determines what kind of change we will see. Often we try to numb the pain and feel better for a while; but eventually the problems return. However, if we take action, we can find healing and restoration. The pain is difficult, but in it can be found blessings.

  • The Coach - Get Focused Study

    “It was easy when I was a kid. Just listen to my folks. Now there are too many people telling me what to do and what to think. It’s pretty confusing. “

  • Balloon Stuff in Sweats

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    For this activity you need balloons (not inflated), two oversized pairs of sweat pants, two oversized sweatshirts and one needle. Break into two teams. Each team has two minutes to inflate and pass the balloons to a teammate who is wearing the oversized sweat pants and sweatshirt. This person stuffs the balloons into the oversized sweats. When the two minutes is up, a leader counts the balloons by popping them with a needle (carefully!) while the person is still “wearing” them. The team who is wearing the most balloons wins. 

  • Balls Under Boxes

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    There is quite a bit of setup to make this work right, but it is really funny. Place a couple of tables or card tables beside each other (leaving 8 inches between them) and cover with table cloths that hang down to the floor. Overlap the table clothes together leaving just enough space for someone’s head to come up between the two tables. Place four boxes on the table and ask one person to kneel on the ground between the two tables (now slightly spread apart) with their head above table level under one box. Put different kinds of balls under the other three boxes.

  • Banana Eating Contest

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Choose four contestants and tell them that the object of the game is to eat as many bananas as they can in one minute. They will be competing against each other and the clock. But to add more of a challenge, blindfold each contestant. Once the contest begins, remove 3 of the blindfolds. This leaves one person still blindfolded eating bananas as fast as they can. Have everyone cheer this person on to victory! 

  • Banana Rugby

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Much like “Frisbee Rugby.” In a large room that’s easy to clean, two teams each try to advance the banana over the opposite goal line. The banana can be advanced only by passing it. Players may take only 2 or 3 steps before throwing the banana. A team loses possession of the banana if a member takes more than the acceptable number of steps before throwing or if a throw becomes an incomplete pass. Have plenty of bananas on hand; they’re reduced to mush quickly. And spiking the banana after a score is not recommended.
