May 23, 2008: Roller Skating

The kids love roller skating, so we pretty much have to do this from time to time. It’s also easy to plan, which is a plus for the leaders. (As long as we can find the right number of vehicles and drivers, of course.)

We started out, as always, with our devotions. John has been going through the Old Testament, and showing how it points to Jesus. This devotion was a bit of a departure, because we talked about the Holy Spirit coming on the believers, on the day of Pentecost. The point was to contrast this with the Old Testament, where the Jews didn’t have the Holy Spirit; sometimes He would come upon a prophet, temporarily, but He wasn’t a part of the normal Israelite’s life, the way that He lives with us. John also mentioned baptism, and there was some interest in the topic, so it will probably be the topic of next week’s devotion.

After this, we simply loaded up into the cars, and went. The place we go to has roller skating from 9:00–12:00, which is a later night than normal for us, but it doesn’t seem to cause problems.
