Another Great Friday Evening

Hi Everyone!
With about 29 of you at dropzone last friday we had another great evening.
The night's topic was 'The Cross'. We started the evening with Stomp the Tail. Everyone is getting very good at this game!

Then we did the Tarp Flip Over where you all stood on the mat and tried to Flip it over while still standing on it. We are going to try this again this Friday Night because the mat wasn't big enough!!!

The Egg Drop was next. You were given limited resources and had to protect the egg from a 2 meter fall. You all did this very well, so well that when we play this game again we will give you less resources.

After this we did an activity to make you think about the topic of the night. You all got a puzzle that would have a shape of the sun when you put it together. There were four different messages on them: Jesus died 4 sinners, Through Jesus your sins can be forgiven, Jesus died even though He was innocent, and Jesus = God’s Son.

The Marshmallow Relay was played next. You had to eat a marshmallow before you got to the next point of the relay. We noticed some cheating in this game which was dissapointing. The last game of the evening was Gourmet Jellybeans. You had to taste Jellybeans and decide which flavour they were. What a yummy game.
After this Martin told you all why Jesus actually died on the cross - to cover for our sins if we believe the things He has promised us. Remember, if you have questions about this or anything else you can email us at dropzoneteam@hotmail.com. We were very impressed by the improvement most of you had made in listening. Thanks a lot, keep it up!!!

10 Commandments...

ON Friday night we learnts about the 10 commandment which God made for us. We first played some games where we had to listen to the rules and instructions in order to win the game. Like the coin toss and blind folded walk. Also had fun playing the baby food game ( like pass the parcel ) but too many of you actually liked the baby food!!!!
We then had a group activity of making up 20 rules to make this world and fun, safe and happy place, some really good thinking with some of you. Then Martijn shared with us what is written in the Bible, about how God gave us 10 Commandments (rules) for us to obey to make this world a happy, safe and nice place to be.
Let's see if you can remember

1: You shall have no other gods before me ( God should be NUMBER ONE!)

2: Yous shall not make yourself any graven image ( Don't bow down to anything BUT God!)

3: You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain ( Don't use your lips to dishonour God)

4: Remember the Sabbath Day ( Sunday ) to keep it holy ( Don't neglect the things of God)

5: Honour your Father and your Mother

6: You shall not kill

7: You shall not commit adultery ( adultery leaves a relationship and heart broken)

8: You shall not steal

9: Yous shall not lie

10:You shall not covet ( what things that you do not have .. be jealous)

These rules are all written for us to read in Exdous chapter 20 in the Holy Bible.

Let's see if you can remember these rules in your daily life and make Carterton a nice place to live .

Have a good week and see you this week...
