The Second Half… “and helping them grow in their faith”

-
As we continue to engage in ways to help our friends in Capernaum grow in their faith, we’ll be highlighting some ideas that are happening in different areas! YL Capernaum leaders are doing amazing things with their friends when it comes to discipleship! Let’s all be creative and prayerful as we consider what’s best for our friends and their needs. Sometimes we can get overwhelmed by thinking we have to dream up something big, but free yourself to remember that discipleship happens in relationships and those can be simple times together!

Enjoy this great Girls Discipleship Sleepover idea…

The overall hope of the time together was to continue to teach some of our girls how to be a disciple of Jesus in an age-appropriate way! We know that they are more than capable to jump in small groups, fellowship and service around their church communities so we want to help them to see their gifts more clearly, spend time with Jesus and grow in their love and understanding of Him.

We gathered for an overnight in order to keep it in town, the cost at a minimum and to be able to connect with local churches that we already have relationships with. Our schedule was as follows…

Saturday:
9:00am- Meet and Catch Up
9:30am- Small Group on Prayer
10:45am- Prayer Walk
12pm- Walk to lunch
1:30pm- Nail Salon
4pm- Drive around to see Christmas Lights
5:30pm- Set up sleeping bags and change into Christmas Sweaters
6:00pm- Dinner at house/Happy Birthday Jesus
7:00pm- Small Group on Worship
7:45pm- Sing Worship songs and Christmas Carols
8:00pm- Christmas Movie
9:00pm- Bedtime

Sunday:
8:30am- Breakfast at the house
9:15am- Church together
11:15am- Walk to lunch from church and have Cabin Time on sermon
12:30pm- Pack Up
1:00pm- Parent Pick Up

If you have any questions about this time, feel free to contact Laurel or Kaitlyn with questions. They’d love to help you dream about a 24 hour overnight with your friends!

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
