Expressions

Last night we spent the evening participating in expressions. It was a time for all to relect on the week and talk with God, asking him to help them look at what they have learned and express back what God was saying to them, what they feel they need to do going forward. We started off the time with one of the YWAM leaders sharing her testimony and then explaining the stations that were setup around the room.

There was a station that had a coffin and in it were pictures showing growing things. Laying around the station were stones that could be written on things that were holding you back on things you needed to give over to God to rid from your life. After spending time in prayer, you would toss the stone into a pool in the coffin and the letters would slowly disappear.

There were multiple stations that had bibles and journals from the past 5+ years that kids had written in after their week. The kids could read the entries and create entries of their own about how God has spoken to them and how they can move forward in their walk.

Other stations included a cross with slips of paper that could be written on with anything they wanted to give over to Christ and nail it to the cross. A station for doing foot washing with a friend or someone you need to forgive. An a couple stations that had mirrors that you could look into and reflect on what God sees in the mirror.

Overall, it was a great night to reflect back and look forward in each individuals walk.
