Another installment of buddy lessons....
Koren’s Story

Intro Question
What do people see when they look at you?

Scripture
John 6:1-15

Jesus is speaking to a crowd of 5,000+ people and the disciples question him about how they will feed the crowd.  A little boy offers five small loaves and two fish.  Jesus takes what he has to offer and uses it for a profound miracle that impacts an enormous crowd of people.


  • What do you think it was like for the little boy to see Jesus take all that he offered and use it to feed 5,000+ people?
  • What do you think the disciples were thinking, when Jesus took the least likely (someone with little to offer) and made a profound impact out of it?
  • Do you think the crowd say the little boy offer his loaves or fish or do you think they just saw the miracle?
  • Who becomes the hero in this story?


 Video




Discussion Questions
  • What surprises you about this video?
  • What was your first reaction to seeing Koren?
  • What is your reaction to Koren sharing about how God revealed himself to Koren from a very young age, even when she couldn’t communicate to others?
  • How is Koren’s story, similar to the feeding of the 5,000?


Response
  • Who in your school have you dismissed because of what you see on the outside?
  • What would it look like to get to know that person and attempt to see them for who they really are?

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 side
