Washed With Tears
Lesson 4

Intro Discussion
Today we are going to talk about following the rules.  We all know that it’s good to follow rules but sometimes we can make the rules more important than what really matters.  The Pharisees had a hard time with and we can learn from them, so that we can find the balance of following the rules and keeping our heart in a place where Jesus is first!

Activity
Play Simon Says

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.

Discussion Questions
·      *Tell us about a time where you did a really good job at following the rules.
·      *Tell us about a time where you think you did a really good job showing someone that you love them, even when it looked different from what everyone else was doing.
·      *How can we practice this (following rules and showing our love) at home with our parents?
·      *How do we know that Jesus loves us?
·      *Who remembers some of the ways (that we talked about last time) that we can show Jesus that we love him?

Second Activity
Provide each friend with:
·               *Small pieces of paper
·               *Markers or pens
Have each friend write down ways that God shows them they He loves them.

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

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
