Connect Series: Transforming

This Sunday was our last in our Connect Series.  After having dinner and an introduction to Hand Bells with Sarah Critzer, we took at look at Exodus 34:29-35 when Moses comes down from the mountain and his face is glowing from his time spent with God!  To get us into the story we did our own little makeovers with lots of different props to see which team could come up with the most creative outfits for their "models".  We then talked about what the Israelites might have thought when they first saw Moses glowing.  We talked about some ways that people "glow" now after they've spent time with God (smiling, dancing, singing, etc.).  After reading Isaiah 64:8, we used play-doh to form a symbol or sculpture that represents something we think God wants to change in us or something that we think God is calling us to do.  The youth really took their time praying and thinking about how God is calling them to live their lives.  We made things like a person praying, a Bible, a fish, a heart, a cross and a music note!  Before closing in prayer, we each received a glow bracelet.  This reminds us that like Moses, when we spend time with God and grow closer to God, our lives will glow and shine for all to see as well! 

Don't forget to come out to Farmville Miniature Golf this Saturday for our Haiti Mission Team fundraiser!
