Can't promise without talking to them first, but it's worth a shot. They are GREAT. They always have fun stuff to do with the kids and their Bible lessons are great too, never boring, and full of animations. I just asked my daughter what games they play that she likes and she said: "Trash Can Football" , "Human Football" , "The stick game" , "Electricity" and "Sock Wars" . Oh my, I may have to look into that "human football", especially since she's one of the smallest ones there, lol. She just came back in the room and said she forgot the best - "Operation Night Commando". I can't recommend that one though, because they played it in the church santuary which didn't thrill me, lol. I asked her what she liked about the lessons and why they kept her interested and she said because they are NEVER boring, and never too hard to understand. (She's 11). I imagine that's hard, because the ages vary so greatly. I do know that one thing I appreciate about our Youth Leaders is that they are never condemning or have judgemental attitudes towards the kids. If something shocks them, they don't show it. That doesn't mean that they don't teach Christ and His ways though. The kids always feel accepted right where they are. And every kid is loved, no matter how obnoxious they are. I could never do that job, so I admire those who can. Well, sorry to be so long winded. Trinity - lock ins!! My daughter just went to her first one. I didn't sleep either - up all night worrying about her, lol. (That's where they played "Night Commando" in the sanctuary. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
