Washed With Tears
Lesson 2


Intro Discussion
Today we are going to talk about how God really knows everything about us- both on the inside and outside and he still loves us deeply!

Activity
Have a grocery bag that has a pineapple and a kiwi inside of it. 
·                  * Have each friend reach in the bag and describe what they feel inside of the bag, without looking
·                  *Ask each friend if they would like to eat it, based upon what the outside feels like.
Show everyone that the items in the bag are a pineapple and a kwi.

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
·     1.  Tell us about a time where you felt judged.  How did you respond?  How did it make you feel?
·     2.  Tell us about how the Pharisees were treating the woman?  How do you think she felt?
·     3.  Tell us about a time where YOU judged someone?
·     4. Tell us how you think someone would describe who you are on the outside.
·     5. Tell us how you think someone would describe who you are on the inside.
·     6. Tell us how you think Jesus would describe who you are!

Activity Continued

Remind your friends that God really knows what’s inside of us and that he loves us deeply because of that!

Great Visual for Club Talk on Sin

-
Image
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...

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 ...
