Why are we here???

Well, if you went to the A&P show last friday night, you missed out on the fun at dropzone. The theme of the night was "Why did God make us?"

Check out these photos of some of the games...

Musical chairs with drummer Zion

Sure you can run faster than that!

And we had the balloon knee squeeze

Squeeze the balloon and jump!

No cheating Thomas...

And a game with prizes to be won, well that really got you guys going...

There were prizes for the tallest newspaper person

The most original newspaper person

And the most lively newspaper person

The boys also tried to win for the tallest newspaper person by extending Michell's newspaper suit......
Two feet short on the winning girls team boys, good try!!

Of course you guys loved the last game most: chocolate bar chop-up... each team got 6 cups with different chocolate bars in it.. that have gone through a blender... and have to guess which chocolate bars are in which cups... Yummy!
DJ said that he could not taste it properly, so he needed to taste again, Yeah right...

There was a really good discussion on "why do we exist?"
You got the answer in the wrap up at the end... Men's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. This means the we are made to honour God. Everything that is not to Gods honour, is SIN. Sin is the same as a crime to God. We concluded that we are all sinners, because we fail to fulfill our purpose in life.
We also thought about how we CAN fulfill the purpose of our life. Just as with toasters, they might all be different, they have the same purpose: to make toast. However, a toaster cannot make toast without bread and power.
The same counts in our life. We need the bible (the bread of life), which tells us how to live to Gods honour. We also need power and strength from God to keep sharp on living to Gods honour.

Coming friday night we talk about where sin actually comes from... in ...

..."The Fall"...

Don't forget coming wednesday night: the wacky toilet night, we are starting at 7:07 sharp
See you there!

Love from your Dropzone leaders!

guess who???

SPOTTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Creation

Well hope you all had a great day off school yesterday ... thanks be to Labour day :) Well it's time to think back to Friday night about what happened at DropZone.

The topic was CREATION and one thing is for sure you guys created LOTS of noise!!!! do you save all your talking for friday night???? :) but you proved to be very bad at reading the instructions and creating an animal out of the play dough ( or was it just Steph's sticky play dough that was no good.... ?? sorry guys i'll try better next time !) But then when it came to creating the bridge with paper, sticks, tapes and pins you did really well ... lots of neat designs and one of the group's bridge was able to hold 10 choco bars! Great team work every one.

And what a laugh the helicopters game was , if only you could see your selves!!! check out the pictures...... human helicopters ( a shocking with a ball at the end) well the aim of the game was to get some one else's helicopter off but you just all had to much fun buzzing around like helicoptors meanwhile your leaders had a good laugh!!!! :)

all in all we had a fun night together , after the games and fun we sat down to watch a movie and most of us remembered how annoying it is when some one else talks at the movies so we all just stand and watched. thanks freinds. but what was the movie about ? it explain about Creation and showed us what God created on each day of the 7 days of Creation. So what did he created on the 3rd day ?? or what about the 6th?? can you remember? well i'll help you ...

day one ... day and night
day two .... separated the waters
day three.... the dry ground and the seas/lakes/rivers
day four...... sun, stars and moon
day five........ fish of the waters, and birds of the air
day six........... animals of the land , and man & woman
day seven........ he rested. ..
and we can find this all recorded in Genesis chapter one of the Holy Bible.

and this week Friday night you will learn about WHY you were created.. ?????

and don't forget next week wed ... 31st Oct ( Halloween night) we have the Wacky Toliet Night at DropZone!!! :) hope to see you all there. remember NO NO NO Halloween dress ups allowed!! thanks

have a great week at school and don't blow away in the wind!

love,
your dropzone leaders

Who is God?

Hello to you all again. and how is your week going? Well here is a report about Friday Night......

Well at 7:07 the room was packed with you all because you set a record and there was 28 of you there. Wow, every one must be loving Drop Zone so you are bringing more friends to have fun too. Good Stuff.

On Friday night our topic for the night was exploring Who God was ?
First we played some neat team games together... jelly beans in the snow ( you all just love your leaders for using flour!!!) one leg challenge, oh forgot to say how we got into teams at the beginning of the night. We were all given an animal card and had to act out the noise to find the rest of our team. And there was one poor Donkey make LOTS of noise but he seems to have lost his mates!!! Well Done Hamish! So for the rest of the night we stayed in the same teams which was good.

After lots of fun Wayne presented us with a presentation about Who God is and making us thinking about how great God is that he has created the huge universe with the sun,planets and our little earth. Only God is able to do that, and compared to God's greatness and power what are we little human beings?

Thanks for having fun together, and please remember out golden rules of DropZone; Don't talk when others are talking and respect each other becasue that way every one can have a fun time together at DropZone.

Have a good week... .keep in touch and see you next week .

and hope you thinking of some super great ideas for the Christmas Float! :)
