During our AM Rally, we played a game called Human Tacos! The teams had to build as many tacos as they could within the time allotted. First they laid a kid down onto the "tortilla" (which was a circular bedsheet). Then they added 3 handfuls of lettuce (shredded green paper), 3 handfuls of cheese (shredded orange paper), and a ladle-full of Hot Sauce (brown paint water). They rolled 'em up, and dragged it over to the "Counter" where the customers were waiting. Then they ran back to their team members and started building the next taco. The BLACK team earned 1st place! BLUE & RED came in close behind for 2nd place. Then the counselors took a turn racing the clock as they made Human Tacos! What a fun (and humorous) way to start the day!
Pastor Mike introduced our theme for the day...KINDNESS. He played a humorous character, "MIKE the icon." This character thought he was better than everyone else. He treated other very poorly. And his attitude showed the exact opposite of kindness.
After small group devotions, the kids came together out on the field for our next team competition. It was a Messy Obstacle Course!!! This course was a test of patience, strength & endurance. The BLUE team came in 1st for this competition! Orange took 2nd place, and Green finished 3rd!
Then it was Lake Swim time! We spent 2 1/2 hours swimming, sliding, canoeing & playing in the sand. It was a blast!
After dinner, the kids headed to their rooms for showers and cleanup, then walked to service. Worship was great again. And Pastor Michael spoke about the fact that the mark of a Christian is LOVE. When we are kind, we show the world what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
We had a special snack time after service (in our lodge). The kids were invited to grab their pillows & blankets and meet in the common area, where we played a movie for them and passed around popcorn. This was a fun way for the kids to wind down after such a busy day!
