Fabulous day yesterday at the Open Day for our Youth Club. Our church opens it's doors every Friday evening to a group of 11-16 year olds and they come in and have a great time playing pool, table tennis. They use the Wi and Exbox or just sit around on bean bags and chill, chatting to their friends. We have a 15 minute God slot where we either show a video, have a question and answer time and the nice thing is most of these kids are not from Christian homes but they come regularly each weekand ask some really good questions.
Well during the school holidays we opened our doors for 2 days and invited all the kids in the area to come and see what we did. We did breakfast from 9.00- 10.30 and then did lunch for them around 1 p.m. It was 2 very successful and fun filled days. They played a type of golf game, sang on the karioki, played with the other games and just had a great time. We even played the chocolate game where you roll the dice, if you get a 6 you put on a coat, hat, scarf, gloves then try and cut into a bar of chocolate with a knife and fork. Once through the paper you get to eat a square of chocolate but if another person gets a 6 you have to take the hat, scarf etc. off and it's there turn. I've never heard so much laughter from a group of kids.
We didn't think we'd have enough food the second day but the Lord was good and provided with even enough for seconds. Sad part is, we didn't get any photographs but who knows next year we may have to put on extra days.
