Icebreaker: Catch Words. It's a free iPhone App that's similar to Catch Phrase. First team to seven points wins. We had a blast trying to beat the timer!
Discussion Highlights: This week, we discussed honoring, being obedient and bringing joy to our parents. We had a delightful discussion about what it looks like to honor your parents and practical ways we can begin being obedient and bringing joy to our parents.
The girls are going to try respectfully responding to chore requests, instead of rudely declining. When asked to do the dishes, they are going to work on thanking them for the opportunity. They are going to remember that Hebrews 12:9-11 says that we are disciplined out of love.
Closing: We closed by praying together, and talked about our next outreach project.
During the Week: This week, we will be reading YouVersion's "What's Next: Student Edition" Bible study. The girls will begin brainstorming how we will pull off a bake sale for A Place for Hope.
Next Week: We will discuss what we read in our study during eGroup. We will make snack packs for A Child's Place. A Child's Place is one of Elevation Church's outreach partners which exists to erase the impact of child homelessness. We will be putting a healthy snack together to go home with some kids.
Personal Reflection: I'd say that tonight went pretty well. Catch Words was a great way to get our evening started. I enjoyed the heart racing laughter that the timer on the game caused. We had a blast! It was great to discuss honor, obedience and joy with the girls. At thirteen/fourteen, honoring your parents can seem like the hardest thing there is to do in the world. I can't wait to see them change the way they treat and look at their parents.
