Here is a great lesson that helps to teach just what it means that SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT.

Christmas
Plus After Christmas Blues Song

This song is sung to the tune of Don Fransico's "He's Alive" - it is a spoof - you sing it seriously, but it is actually very funny, especially if you introduce it as a song the Lord laid on your heart last night as you reflected on Christmas being over.

Christmas
Plus Spread the Word

The purpose of this game is two-fold. First, to visualize the need to work together to spread the Gospel (the Good News) as far as possible. Secondly, in a surprise twist to illustrate how often in our zeal to reach people far away, we miss those right next to us!

Teaching
Plus Use Instructions

You will need two card tables and a mixed up puzzle for each team (one puzzle with box top that shows how to make it.)

Teaching

The object of the game is to write a verse in mirror image on a poster board. You will need 2 small mirrors and 1 large mirror.

Plus Cool Guy

Plus God is Your Spotter

You start with little weights and move up to big weights. The same is true in our spiritual life. If we aren’t even attempting little things for God, He will never be able to use us for anything great.

Faith - Strength
Plus Saying THANKS

It's never too late to say thanks. "It's time to dig out those thank you cards," writes Pastor Karl Bastian, the Kidologist. "You better 'make your list, and check it twice' - because if you forget someone, it won't be nice!"
