Daniel
Hi all,
The last two Friday nights we have been learning about Daniel.
This Daniel was a remarkable man, as he was one of very few who did not want to join in the harmful things people did around him. He stood up against huge peer pressure and even death threads!
The Lord helped him to stand up against this all, and Daniel had great faith in God providing him the strength he needed.
He loved God so much, he didn't want to compromise his love for Him by joining in with others in eating food that was offered to idols or worship the king as a god.
The games we played during these nights helped us to think about what happened to Daniel. Daniel was placed as one of three presidents over the large kingdom of Babel. The princes of Babel didn't like that, because they wanted to be president themselves. So they made a law that people should only pray to the king for 30 days and not to any god. Daniel didn't listen to that, as he loved God so much, he wanted to keep communicating with Him.
We played cat and mouse to imitate the princes trying to catch Daniel.
We played catch me if you can to imitate sneaking up to Daniel and trying to catch him while he was praying (this is what the princes tried to do).
We played poison pole and thought about jealousy, how that can make people very nasty toward each other.
Then we also read the true history from the Bible and we had a good discussion about what it means to serve God, or not.
We are looking forward to coming Friday night with another action packed program!

Term 1
Hi all,
We haven't been updating you as regular as before, so here is the first blog about the programs of Term 1 of 2011!
We started off with a games evening, followed by an evening about "Who is God?"
We looked at the creation of the world in the following night and the reason why we are created the night after.
Then came the night about the fall. We finally managed to make some photos, so you can enjoy a bit of the fun we are having. The games all had to do with the theme the Fall. In most games you had to try not to fall (twister, bucket balance & shelter building)
Balancing a bucket with water on you feet and taking your shoes of as fast as possible
(one group didn't get wet)
Building a shelter for 3 people from newspaper
(there are actually 3 people under here)
Animal pairs swapping seats and Noah trying to catch them
Feeding the lion (from a distance of course)
Feeding the bear (with the eyes closed)

The night after that we had a theme about Noah's flood. The youth had to pair up in teams of two animals to get onto the ark. Once aboard they had to feed the lion, the bear and do some monkey bowling. A code breaker game revealed the true size of the ark: 137 x 22 x 13.7 meters! Huge!

Carterton Christmas Parade
All completed, now let's PARADE ................ :)
Waiting for the prize giving announcements.
And look ............ we got 2nd place in the non business category! Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!!
Well done DropZone team ........... we'll see you all again on Friday for our LAST evening of the year!!'Your leaders
Nearly There ............
The last evening before the BIG DAY has finally arrived and there are lots of final preparations to make. But first we settled down to a game of silent noughts and crosses.
And then we got to work painting, decorating, dressing up, etc, etc ............
And when we were all tired out from painting, decorating, dressing up etc, etc, we sat down and listened to a story about gifts. First we all shared the most memorable gift that we had ever received. Richard then shared that one of his earliest, and favourite gifts that he had ever received was his teddy bear .......
Then to finish it all off, Richard pulled another gift out of his bag. It was in a beautiful purple box and looked just like a gift. He reminded us all that this Christmas we are all being offered this gift again. And we are all invited to take this gift personally ...... When he lifted up the lid, there lay a little doll, lying in straw and wrapped in cloth. This is a picture of the Lord Jesus when He was born here on this earth. He was born a little baby, He was laid in the feeding trough and He was wrapped in swaddling clothes (rags). And this little baby grew to be a man who was a great Teacher and He ended His life dying on the cross to pay for the sins that we do every day. This Christmas we are again reminded of this GREAT GIFT ....!!! :)
