Youth Group 3 hours
Personal Reflection:
Tonight was very exciting because I was scheduled to run the game. In the past Tony didn’t really have games; well he did here and there, and they are fun, but they didn’t involve bringing people up on stage for participation. The games were mostly done from the projector that asked questions and who ever got all the questions won some candy. Back to my game: at one of the meeting with Tony I asked if I could run a game, because in high school, I ran games at my youth group. He explained his view on games and how he doesn’t like making a mess; so I explained a game that was quick and not messy (we will get to that in a minute).
I then told Tony my view on games; in which I believe it is important to bring students up on stage every now-and-then so that others can see and learn a little bit of who they are. For instance the game I chose to do is simple: first I picked three students, who raised their hands, with out telling them what they will be doing. Then I explained to them and audience that they will be given a song that they will have to gargle (with water) into the microphone. I pumped up the audience to be hyped and participate in the guessing of what tune the contestant was gargling. I then sent the contestants to Tyler my helper to give them a song and their cup of water. Now as the first contestant came to start, I got their name, which is one of the most important reasons for games because it familiarizes them to the audience. Also, when they are up their on stage they are being their self and the audience can get to know them indirectly as well.
Spiritual Reflection:
This week has been less stressed, (know that I am writing this after Fall break has happened, but I am referring to a week before break) I have been getting my work done and I started studying for mid-terms a week early. I feel good about them and am super excited that my Church Rituals class is going to be done so my work load is less. God is good.

Dude, I am on a role with responding...Why did I wait so long to do this?
I like your view on games, when I interned at my church, games were a huge part of our ministry and a very effective means of getting the message across. We'd always have one game that was "just for fun" and another later on that went with the lesson.
I would love to get more games going with my group of guys, but with only four guys and a full class load, it is hard to find games that fit. Any ideas?
Wow, a week early? I was so stressed that week with so much to do (most of it stemmed from not realizing I had a presentation sooner than I thought). Hey, we're done with Rituals!
