We started our night with the Days of the Week game. Have your middle schooler explain how to play!

Our Scripture for last night was: John 4:23 "A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."


Topic: Where Do You See God in Your Every Day Life?. At first, we brainstormed ideas of where we see God. Then, we watched a quick powerpoint of pictures showing different objects, places, people, etc…Then, we named some more places after watching the powerpoint. I showed them a wrapped box that I said I put God in. After I unwrapped the box, then I showed them what was inside. It was a mirror, and we talked about how we are a reflection of God, or that God is in us. Next, we broke up into guys and girls. Here's some questions to ponder with your youth :Where IS God at Harbor Lights, Mac Bay, Black River, and Holland East?Are there people who stand out in your mind that reflect God or Jesus? Who are they and what makes you feel like they represent God?Where IS God when you're riding in a car?Where IS God when your aunt, grandma, dad has cancer? We shared a stories about when we either really wanted to see God and didn't, or where we have seen God.

We ended the night with prayer for people on our hearts and minds, worries that we and our parents have, and named some things we were thankful for, also.

*Aaron said it was the best discussion this year with the boys! Way to go!

Peace~
