Ignite - water to wine

Had a great time tonight at Ignite - the children arrived and we went into the garden to play a water based game.  They were given a 2 litre bottle of water and an old 35mm film can, they had to fill the can with water and then transport it and then pour it into another 2 litre bottle (that had the top cut off) however as they did this the water changed colour red or green.  We had the children carry the can on their head, balance on the hand and then we pin pricked a hole in the bottom and they carried it in the hand and on the head!!  Each race was timed and the one with the largest amount of water at the end was the winner.  We then had our pizza and chips followed by ice cream.  We then settled down to watch the DVD which was the wedding in Cana - Sarah asked them if they had ever been to a wedding and what it was like etc.  The Relive DVD told the story with a bit of a modern slant to it.  I asked the children about how various people might have felt at the wedding seeing the miracle happen I also asked how they would have felt if they were there.  This led me on to talk about magic and tricks - I took a piece of paper and placed it into an envelope then when I removed it the paper had turn into a £10 note.  The children were impressed but then I showed them how to do it and even how to make the prop so they in turn could do it to other people.  We then tried to explain that what Jesus did was not a magic trick but a miracle.  Following this we divided the group in two and asked them to write down 6 things to pray for then I rolled a dice called the number and encouraged the children to pray for what ever on the list by that number.  A number of the children prayed as the numbers were called.  All in all a great night.
