Second Installment of Buddy Lessons....

What It's Like
Intro Questions
  • What do you think it would be like to have a sibling with a disability?
  • How do you think people would react to seeing you and your sibling out together, if your sibling had a disability?
Scripture
            Mark 4:41 and 5: 1-20
Jesus and his disciples travel across a lake, through a storm, to get to a man who is possessed by demons.  Jesus heals the man and the man ends up telling so many people about Jesus.

Imagine how the disciples must have felt when…
  • They encountered the storm and had to keep going after it ended?
  • They got to the other side and saw the demon-possessed man?
  • They watched Jesus interact with the man?
  • They traveled back home in the boat with Jesus?
Imagine how the man who was demon- possessed felt when…
  • He saw Jesus and the disciples coming towards him?
  • Jesus asked him his name?
  • Jesus healed him?
  • He was the one to share about Jesus in the Decapolis?

Discussion Questions
  • What surprises you about this video?
  • Spencer says that he is looking forward to having Mitchel as his best man someday.  How does this challenge your thoughts on a wedding party?

  • How are Mitchel and the man who was demon-possessed similar?

Response
  • How can you have a friendship with someone with a disability like Spencer and Mitchel have?
  • Who, in your school, do you know that has a sibling with a disability?  How can you befriend them and their sibling?

Christmas/Winter Club Game Ideas

  Mixer Q-tip war: Split room in half with tape down the middle. Pass out straws and Q-tips (make sure you test that the Q-tips fit before hand). You will shoot the Q-tips across the line via placing the Q-tip in the straw and blowing. Keep this going for a while and then stop the music and pick a winning side (one with the least amount of Q-tips). 12 days of Christmas: divide the room up into 12 groups (numbers in group vary based on size of club) Each group is a day of the 12 days. Give them some time to think of a motion/dance move that represents their day. Then perform the whole song! Dice Doubles: Have prepared a gift (candy from dollar store goes over great!). Wrap it in MANY layers, including tape! Sit the group in a circle. If you have more than 20, it’s best for multiples circles to play the game. Place the wrapped gift, gloves, a Santa hat and dice in the center (from playing this game with Capernaum many times, I’ve actually learned that one dice with each side

Great Visual for Club Talk on Sin

During club recently, Katey and her friends were talking about sin and the cross during their club talk. They created this great visual that ended up being so helpful for their friends to understand how sin effects us and how the cross offers us such a beautiful way to live instead! They had 5 boxes- one large box named “SIN”, one large box named “GOD”, one medium box named “ME”, one tiny box named “SIN” and one tiny box named “GOD”. They explained how God created us to live in perfect relationship with Him where we live in Him (put the “ME” box in the large “GOD” box) and where He lives in us (put the tiny “GOD” box in the medium “ME” box). Then, take everything out. They then explained how because of sin (with explanation of sin) it looks like this: put the tiny “SIN” box in the “ME” box and then put the “ME” box in the large “SIN” box. They explained how there is nothing that we can do on our own to get sin out of us and there is nothing we can do on our own to get ourselves out

Valentine's Day Club

Mixer Couple Match-up: You will need stacks of two different colored sticky notes (let’s say one green stack and one pink). You will write couple pairs that your friends know on these. For example, on a green write Minnie Mouse and on pink Mickey Mouse. Place the pink on the backs of your friends and greens on the back of leaders/buddies…no cheating! Don’t let them see who is on their back. Once everyone is ready inform them that they are to find their “couple pair.” They will do this by walking around the room and having friends describe their character WITHOUT saying the name! Once you know who you are you can find your pair. The reason it’s important to have the buddies and leaders be the matches is so they can help their friends out! Once you find your match sit down! Game Heart Target: Place heart shaped paper on the floor, walls, or wherever you want. The person playing the game will be handed a balloon, not tied off! They will release the balloon trying to get it to land on one
