All of these activities, crafts and games
are based on Christian principles. They are great for all kinds of Sunday
school, church, and family activities.

* As each person comes through the door they are given a piece of paper with the name of an animal on it, example, cow, duck, etc. As you give the paper you explain that they are to tell no one what there animal is. When you are ready to split into teams no one is aloud say anything they can only make the noise of the animal on there paper. They find the people making like animal noises and that is there team. Through the event they can use the animal sounds to cheer there team on and as a team name. (This would be neat to do with a Noah activity or lesson)
* Dividing by the Word; This is a kind of spelling game.
First decide how many groups you want to have, and have everyone form a
line. Then tell everyone to remember their letter when they shout it out.
If you want to end up with two groups, pick a two letter word, like
"HI" , or a four letter word like "Love" and put two letters in each group.
Have the first person yell "H". The second person yell "I". The third person
Yell "H", and so on. Have all of the H's be one group and all of the I's
be the second group. If you use a four letter word like "love" to make
two groups, use two of the letters to form each of the two groups. The
L's and the O's against the V's and the E's. Try these dividing Words:
God (3groups), Word (4), Love (4), Christ (5), Jesus does not work, too
many S's, Faith (5), and so on. Each letter of the word becomes a group.
As you finish dividing into groups, have everyone yell the word that was
used, like a cheer.
* Meeting New People; Have everyone write four
things about themselves on a card. No names, or male or female. All of
the cards are collected and mixed. Everyone picks a card at random from
the pile. The people then mingle and talk about what was written on the
cards until you find the person for your card. During the mingling you
will learn a lot about many of the other people. After everyone has found
the person on their card, each person must introduce the person that is
on their card and tell a little about them.

Listen to what God is telling your heart and please do it. Donations. |
| 2 Corinthians 9: 6-15 (Ampl.) | |
| 6. | [Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously and that blessings may come to someone, will also reap generously and with blessing. |
| 7. | Let each one [give] as he made up his own mind and purpose in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (that is He takes pleasure in prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (prompt-to-do-it) giver - whose heart is in his giving. (Prov. 22.9) |
| 8. | And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstance and whatever the need, be self-sufficient - possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation. |
| 9. | As it is written, He [the benevolent person] scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever! |
| 10. | And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness [ which manifest itself in active goodness, kindness and charity]. |
| 11. | Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, [and your generosity as it is] administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving to God. |
| 12. | For the service the ministering of this fund renders does not only fully supply what is lacking to the saints (God's people), but it also overflows in many [cries of] thanksgiving to God. |
| 13. | Because at [your] standing of the test of this ministry, they will glorify God at your loyalty and obedience to the Gospel of Christ which you confess, as well as for your generous-hearted liberality to them and to all [the other needy ones]. |
| 14. | And they yearn for you while they pray for you, because of the surpassing measure of God's grace {His favor and mercy and spiritual blessing which is shown forth} in you. |
| 15. | Now thanks be to God for His Gift, [precious] beyond telling - His indescribable, inexpressible, free Gift! |
