Ignite

This evening at Ignite after we had munched our way through 6 large pizzas and 2 bags of French fries we had a game of bingo - I did think that we might be able to create a pattern on the bingo card that would spell the key word for the evening - but the first game took so long we never got the chance.  We watched a Relive video tonight about the 10 Lepers and focused in on the fact that all were healed but only one came back to say thank you.  We then explored some different ways that we can say thank you to God, we had a phone, a tray, a heart shaped cushion, a bible, a worship CD and some arm bands for swimming.  Each one can remind us about what to thank God for:-
the arm bands for saving us
the bible His word
the phone we can simply talk to God
the tray we can serve God by serving others
we can thank Him during worship
we can thank Him because He loves us so much

Then we split into small groups with a tube of bubbles and blew bubbles and thank God for all kinds of things.  The children then made a list of 10 people that they would like to say thank you to, and who they would pray for this week.  We ended with a time of chatting to God.
