We were subcontracted by the dentist here in Eden Prairie, so we provide plenty of sweets for the youth group.

The teens enjoy playing “Zip Balm” and the “Quantitative Question Game.”

For “Zip Balm” you must try to keep your teeth from showing as you say either “Zip” or “Balm.” This results in extreme jaw cramping.

For the second game it is necessary that you ask the person standing next to you in the group circle a unique question immediately after the person on the other side has asked you a question. If you stumble or repeat, you are out!

We had a special activity at Liberty for those in the youth group who had memorized and recited Philippians 3. Instead of doing the normal bowling and pizza we had the first ever (drum role please…) Wi Bowl!

The night started out with an exciting round of Monster Bowling! (A special thanks to the tire shop who donated a semi truck tire.)

I am slowly working to fill the plethora of shelving space, but coloring books don’t take up a lot of room.

Wednesday night we had an outside activity. We played a few games like soccer, crabwalk soccer (got pretty interesting when we realized the geese had been out in the field earlier!), and Birdy-Go-Bye-bye.

We looked at I John 3:4-10. Here John tells us that “9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.
10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.”

I John has been a great encouragement as we study through it, and I pray God will use it to change each of our lives to be more like Him!
