We missed you all after a week break and hope you will join us next time! July 23rd 9:30 am. Ciampi Ranch. Please see the next post for details!
Despite missing several families, we had a great time together praying, playing, encouraging, and challenging one another! We warmly welcomed the The B. Family who was visiting from Flagstaff. They are the leaders of the Flagstaff Study Group (or Northern AZ Bible Bee). We presented them with the banner we made a few weeks before as a way to encourage their whole group. After a few songs of worship, we discussed the opening of the Ark Encounter by Answers In Genesis. If you haven't had a chance to watch the dedication ceremony, it is well worth the watch! We used a handout from Answers In Genesis with the names of God to guide our prayer time. It was a powerful reminder of who God is! Miss H. shared some insights about how "keep"ing God's commandments is more than just obeying His commands it is also holding His words close and cherished and before our eyes constantly. Her insights were helped by a discipleship group she completed called Rise Up. Click here for more info. Sharing TimeWe're so proud of some of our primary participants! Not only are they sharing insights or doing "Show and Tell" with their memory logbooks, they are doing it in front of an audience with a microphone! Great job girls (Miss E. and Miss L.) for sharing and conquering your fear of speaking with a microphone! RecitingEveryone is getting so good at their scripture recitations! Nice job everyone! Jeopardy and Greek Word GamesWe were so excited when we found a really good computer program for JEOPARDY - complete with actual music and sound effects! (Much thanks to Miss H. for helping input some of the questions into the game and learning how the program works!) Miss H. also had way too much fun with the sound effects! We played as teams in families and it was a great review time! We also learned we have quite a few competitive souls! While three families were playing the JEOPARDY style game, other families were practicing their Greek words with a Concentration/Matching type game. It was really neat to see families working together! This particular meeting was really interesting because we moved our lunch to a charter high school nearby to celebrate Miss H.'s birthday. We all did our best to act "natural" and Miss H. didn't even notice the whispers here and there! Our little plan worked and the afternoon was a fun time celebrating Miss H.! Thank you to everyone who came and helped make her birthday really special!
