Midterm Pizza Party Post

Hi, friends!  Here's where we want you to reflect on your Midterm Pizza Party.

Questions to reflect on:
1.  What is your overall review and thoughts of the evening?
2.  Evaluate pre-party and during party--what went well?  What things would you change?  What worked? What didn't?
3. What did you learn from this event?
4.  What stood out to you as a take away from this event?

*Next class time, we will have you evaluate your involvement and your team members involvement of planning and pulling off the event. (This evaluation will be individual and only seen by me and James.)

Godly Play 2.0

I really enjoyed the opportunity we had last week to apply what we were learning in a real world ministry environment.  In what ways did your group incorporate Godly Play into the lesson, and how did the kids respond? I noticed with the preschool group that they were much more engaged in the Bible story when they got to build a snack that demonstrated the wall of Jericho and act out the story. I believe Godly play should be used in more church settings for all ages. What do you think?

Camp retreat!

How can we help tune out the "noise seeping through the walls" at our retreats to better listen to God? In our world with the noise we have become accustomed to how can we get the more "techie" kids to join in and have fun? What does the environment have to do with the activities we can plan? What was your favorite part of a church camp or retreat?

GODLY PLAY

Part of the Godly Play sounded familiar, so is there something from your childhood or current time in life that is similar to Godly Play? In what ways can we take Godly Play and apply it to older people, whether youth, young adults, or elders? Lastly, what would you say is most valuable about Godly Play, as in, what have you learned from most or seen others learn from?
