Washed with Tears- Part 3

The third lesson in the campaigner series

Washed With Tears
Lesson 3

Intro Discussion
Today we are going to talk about our most treasured things!  We all have things that we love.  Sometimes that is people and sometimes it’s things.  This is even true for Jesus.

Read Scripture
Washed with Tears (Sinful woman anointing Jesus)- Pages 280-285 in Jesus Storybook Bible.  Located in Mark 14, Luke 7 and John 12.

Today’s Focus
Jesus is the most important person to this woman and she brings her most important thing to him for him to have. 

Activity
Provide each friend with:
            Two pieces of paper
            Markers or crayons
Have your friends and leaders draw a picture of their most treasured thing on the first piece of paper.  On the second, have them draw a picture of the most treasured person in their life. 

Discussion Questions
·     * Show us your picture of your treasured thing.  Tell us about it and why it is important to you.
·      *Show us your picture of your treasured person.  Tell us about it and why he/she is important to you.
·      *How would others know that these things and people are important to you?
·      *Ask the group to share how they know that a certain person is important to the person who is sharing
·      *How did the Pharisees know that Jesus was important to the woman?
·      *Tell us about some ways that you have shown that Jesus is important to you.

Second Activity
What are some of the ways that we can worship Jesus together as a group?
Provide each friend with two small pieces of paper so that they can write down the group’s answers.  Add these papers to the jars that they made during the first campaigner group.
Take time to engage in the form of worship that the campaigner group has decided upon (sing one song, pray together…)

Pray
Have your friends share ways that they would like the group to pray for them. 

Take time to pray for these things as a group, allowing your friends the chance to pray for one another.

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
