Fun Fridays!

My house is right next to the school so my roommates and I have decided to invite the kids over on occasion for some fellowship and fun. It turned out really great last Friday! We had a group of 8th and 9th graders over and they started the afternoon with food of course. What student doesn’t love a snack after school? We had music playing and just had a nice time talking with the students outside the classroom.

After we had a time of just hanging out we played some group games. Then we had the kids get in groups and we gave them some Bible stories to pick from to do a skit for the rest of the group. Each group of “actors” was given several random props that had to be incorporated into their skit. It was really funny to see how CD players and stuffed animals found their way into Bible stories like the story of Jonah!

We ended the afternoon with prayer and some scripture on loving and caring for each other. The students are around each other all day long and they have a tendency to be mean to one another. I wanted them to remember that as a school family we need to be caring for each other. People will know we are Christians by our love…

We are having another group over this Friday. I hope things go just as well! Please pray for our students. It is our hope that they come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. We have a mix of students where some have been Christians for a long time and some don’t know anything about Jesus. Please pray that those who know Christ would grow closer to Him and that those students who do not profess a belief in Jesus would come to saving faith.
