Catch them if you can!
Posted by taiwankat on September 21, 2009
The wild children at the park absolutely love playing games. We play a wide array of games involving running, sitting, tagging, jumping. Some favorites we play over and over, and they never seem to get tired. They also love to play Uno, as well as a bunch of other table games that we bring each week. As much as they love playing the games, they eschew Bible stories. The moment we announce that it’s story time, they slip away faster than we can blink, with only a select few remaining to hear the story each week. Apparently the children think that the stories are “boring”. We want to think of interactive, creative ways to tell the stories in a way that they can understand and relate to. We want for them to stay and hear about our awesome God. We want to capture their attention, to catch them before they all run away.
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
