Last weekend @ WILDSIDE February 12-13, 2011
Last weekend we wrapped up our two-week series on loving God & loving others. We had a LOT OF FUN this weekend!
Series: “LOVE: WHAT MATTERS MOST”
Pre-Service: We used this video as our 3 minute countdown to begin the service. We also had a couple of our students sing “LOVE STORY” by Taylor Swift as students where coming into the service (our jr. high kids went nuts for this song).
Worship Songs: ”Sing, Sing, Sing”, “Savior Of The World”, “Love Came Down”.
Grade Groups: In light of our love series/valentines day, we gave each of the students in our grade groups a list of “25 Ways To Show Love To Someone”, which was a list that our staff compiled of simple ways to show love to others. We had students talk about which things on the list would be the hardest for them to do and which would be the easiest. We challenged each student to choose one or two things on the list and try it this week to really “love their neighbor as themselves”.
Games: At the beginning of the service we played a game of “CUPID’S IMPOSSIBLE SHOT”. I dressed up as “Boston Cupid” and had students try to throw pink/red balls through a heart that was hanging from the top of the stage. It was awesome. We also played an fun game called “Name That Love Song”. We brought up 4 groups of students on stage (4 kids per team) and they would take turns trying to “name the tune” that was playing on the sound system. We gave each student a buzzer so they could “buzz-in” with their answer. One of the best up-front games we’ve played in a while.
Message: Jason Pogue taught this weekend on “LOVING OTHERS”. He shared about what real love is: how we don’t get to pick & choose who we love and that love is about action not only about feelings.
His thought for the week was: ‘YOU SHOW LOVE FOR OTHERS BY SERVING THEM”.
