Hot game The world is simulated on Tennis Court. All the students live in the boundaries of the tennis court. Two students were chosen to represent bad circumstances in live that cause pain and hardship. If they tagged a student then they would have to stand still with one hand on their head. Two students could put their arms around them and free them. Get tagged a second time and put two hands on your head. This means that you need three students to free you. Get tagged a third time and you have to sit down and can only be freed by four students. It’s a hot game because it involves running and the stress of being tagged and having to hope that some students will team up to free you. To mix it up more people were chosen to be baddies and that made it much harder to stay free. Then I was chosen to have the ability to free whoever I wanted no matter how many times they had been tagged. Lots of people called out ‘free me Rev.’ I would free them and two seconds later they needed freeing again.
How did Jesus feel? It made me think about Jesus. He frees people from all sorts of things only to see them go back to the same things again and again. I’m very grateful that Jesus has never got sick of me getting into trouble and asking for help only to get into trouble again. Party time After the game we broke up into our small groups and had some soft drinks, chips, dip and Tim Tams. It was a good chance just to catch up and chit chat. Spirituality Carols All the students, volunteers and teachers are welcome to come to our Carol service on Sunday the 10th of Dec at 7pm. Supper provided afterwards.
