At Ignite (our group for 11-14 year olds), we run both a Thursday night social and small groups at the weekend. The Thursday is an open session where we run crazy activities and have around 50 young people turn up. The small groups are for those who want to take an extra step and learn more about the Christian faith and following Jesus. We’re running three at the moment.
Each week I always try and get feedback from the small group leaders about how their groups went. We’re currently working through a teaching series on the first few chapters of Acts and it’s good to know what’s going on. This week, I got an email from one of the girls group leaders reporting that it had been a good session, but they had a lot of energy! From the email:
We went though teaching notes for an hour but then they just wanted to run and play games… so we played “Who can find Jesus in the garden” with Emily and myself wearing dressing gowns and tea towels on our heads! We had a lot of fun!!!
Now I’m not sure about the theology of this new game, but it had me laughing out loud for ages! Anyone else want to play “Who can find Jesus”?
Update: apparently when Jesus was located in the garden, the girls had to sing the Delirious song “I’ve Found Jesus” to alert the others!!!

I think the article is great…
But the picture! Tremendous! though I’m a little worried they crossed Jesus with Joey Tribbiani from from friends.

Dave, the picture is The Buddy Christ from the movie Dogma. A good but theologically unsound film about 2 angels trying to get back into heaven.
