Wake Review for 1/27/08

Wake is our weekly meeting for Junior High students at Watermark. We meet on Sunday mornings at 11:00am on the 4th floor of the Watemark Tower. Here is my assessment of this week's Wake.

Program Outline
Attendance: Above Average
Fun Factor: Average
Leader Presence: Average
Music: Below Average
Message: Average

For fun, we went back to the crowd favorites. We showed another "Iphthamaytid" picture (see below) and played the "Conversation Game" where kids try to answer 10 yes/no questions without saying the words "yes" or "no". We get 'em every time! We also brought back out the "Winter Chill Girls" to promote our Girls Retreat. Let's just say, I hope it's at least a year before we have to dress up like a High School girl at a sleepover again.




For our teaching time, I gave the kids a "spiritual check up" with a message titled "On the Road Again". I told about a time that I fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the road nearly costing my life. We related the story the Christ's teaching on the narrow road that leads the life and the wide path that leads to destruction. "Are you on the narrow road?" and "What do you need to do to get on it?" were the questions of the day.
