FRIGHT NIGHT

FEAR was the topic on Friday night. We are hoping that Drop Zone is not a fearful place to be on a Friday evening, but there surely are a lot of other frightful places and things. We had a lot of fun playing games that included a fear factor. Not many of you were courageous enough to eat the unlabelled baby food but well done to the volunteers that were willing to walk the plank. Because you were blindfolded you thought that you were surfing really high in the air, but we had you tricked, you really were only about a metre off the ground!!!!!



Well done to everyone that participated in the theatre sport. You all acted out a fearful situation that you have been in. The scariest was the girls that went camping on a windy night!!!


And what a fright we all got when half way through the evening the door started banging and a masked man entered with a gun. We only caught a glimpse of him because lights went out and shots were fired. I think we all had our hearts pounding ---- thankfully it was only Martin with a cap gun!! :) Although it was scary it was a great introduction to our discussion. Wayne asked us to think about some of the things that we are scared of, and then let us think about whether there is such a thing as good fear. We decided that it was good to be afraid sometimes, otherwise we would put ourselves in dangerous positions. We also talked about what to do when we are afraid. Some of us thought it would be a good idea to run away and hide when we were afraid. Did you know that God says in the Bible that he will be a hiding place for those that believe in Him?? That means that if we have a relationship with God we never have to be afraid, because we know that God will look after us!!!

After our discussion we had a lot of fun playing table tennis, pool, table soccer, basketball, or just hanging out.
