The 10 Commandments !

On this night we learnt about God's 10 rules for our life. We started with a game of soccer, which had changing rules... And at the end the players could do whatever they wanted or thought to be good themselves. The result was a big chaos and a game that looked like rugby or wrestling, not soccer.

God's rules (the 10 commandments) give us protection in our lives (e.g. you shall not steal, murder, lie, etc.)

In the second game (straw toss) we did not give them instructions, but only the goal of the game... to get your straw as close to the line as possible, without crossing it. Everybody tried to throw or blow their straw to the line, some crossed it, some did not make it. After all the youth 'tossed' their straw, Martin walked up to the line and put the straw down on it.

The lesson here is that in life, there are some boundaries we are not allowed to cross. To be able to do that, we need to stay in control of what we are doing (not giving it a toss and see where it lands).

We did pass the parcel, from which you either had to do something embarrasing or get a hint for the location of a chocolate bar!!!

Pass it on girls!

We also tried to come up with the 10 best rules for our lives. These rules make sure that everybody lives in peace and love with each other.

This group called their rules: 'the Peace rules'.

Teenagers love drawing up their own rules!

In this game you have to find somebody with the same length of licorice as you

(just bite a piece off to make it the same length)

There was no talk as we went into groups to read from the bible what God's 10 rules ar for our life. We then connected them to their key words and their practical meaning for us.

This week we are going to try to not to sin and live according to the 10 commandments. It will be hard, but you can always ask God to help you!

Love,
