TOE FENCING: Set to music this looks like a new kind of dance. All the players pair off, lock hands and try to tap the top of one of their partner's feet with their own foot. In other words, one player tries to stomp the other player's foot with their hands clasped together. Players are also trying to keep from having their feet stepped on. When a player has had his/her foot tapped three times, he/she is out of the game. Winners match up with new partners. Continue until there is a single winner or time runs out. DISCUSSION STARTER: Elephant Man: Many good clips in this film. Check out the one where John Merrick (the Elephant Man) is walking in the train station when a boy starts making fun of him. Then two more boys join in and then there is a bunch of people surrounding him. The Elephant Man finally yells the famous line in the film, "I am not an animal. I am a human being." You can stop the clip and tell the history of John Merrick, a kind, caring, and loving man. Fast-forward the tape a little to the scene where John Merrick says, "My life is full. Because I am loved." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
WRAP UP I would like to share again our verse for the month. Matthew 22:37-39, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first & greatest commandment. A second is equally important. 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' I know it is hard to love other people, but I do realize that if we are honest with ourselves, we do love ourselves. Jesus is simply saying, "Love others as you love yourself." Some people live by the motto-do onto others, before they do it to you. God's word says, "Do onto others as you would have them do unto you" (Matthew 7:12).
The Bible teaches quite a bit about love. My favorite part is found in I Corinthians 13: 4-8, it says - "Love is very patient and kind, it is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful. Love does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never ends." I want to close by asking you to close your eyes and think of that person you thought of earlier that you are going to show love to this week. Now pray and ask God to help you show love to this person this week. Let's pray. Added by Sheryl Taylor |
