Ignite

Last night we had a great time at Ignite.  We started last week to work our way through the Bible starting with Adam and Eve and last night we moved on to Noah.  We had our altogether time first playing some silly intro games before looking at the story.  We then split off into smaller groups to look in a little more depth at the story and how Noah had to trust God and obey what God said.  We read sections of the story and the young people responded and wrote down what they thought Noah was felling at the time.  We had all sorts of feelings coming out, sad, glad, special, proud, confused.  The bottom line was that Noah had to trust God and obey him by doing what God had asked him to do - as we all should do!  At the end we prayed using a prayer net, this is when someone starts the pray time with a Praise then passes a ball of string round the room of people (keeping hold of the end) then another Praise, pass on holding onto the string.  Once everyone had done this once we did it again this time by saying thank you for something.  The result was a strong network of pray.  To finish we asked them to think of something they wanted to let go of and as the ball of string was gathered in they released their finger from it - letting it go.
