Parade on 6th September 2014

We tried something different for CE today. Instead of going straight into the Word, we played a game. I broke the Seniors into squads and gave them a 1/4 cup of hair gel. 1 comb, and a pair of scissors. The idea was to come up with the most creative hairstyle. Each squad had to send one keen volunteer, of which at the rest of the group's mercy, will do up his hair. It was a spontaneous activity, but I think one the Boys enjoyed.

Our brave models!
The lesson was based on the Book of Acts, with the focus on the Apostle Paul. The idea is that we all have choices in life. Some will lead to outstanding results, while others can be catastrophic. Paul, then Saul, was a grand prosecutor of the new Christian faith, but God gave him a choice. He could've disobeyed and continue wrecking havoc, or he could agreed to change, leading on to be the true founder of the church as an organisation. We too have a choice to mould ourselves and the people around us, or we could end up doing something we cannot undo. This is the illustration presented by the hair gel (to mould) and the scissors (something which cannot be undone - cut hair). The potential of this exercise to be used in other scenarios, like friendship or coaching is also possible. Fortunately, none of them dared to use the scissors! 

I was also happier today with attendance and the flow of programs was good. Hopefully things will continue to improve for the company.
