Drama: Awkward First Dance

The point of this drama is to illustrate worship as dancing with God.  We set up the drama by talking about how when one person does their part of a couple's dance, it is awkward.  When they come together awkward plus awkward does not equal really awkward, it equal beauty.  There's something about coming together that changes things in a powerful way.  Then we did the skit, and followed it by talking about when you first start out it may be difficult, but the more you worship, the better you become.

Corporate Sponsors Fundraiser

This fundraiser allows students to write donation requests to businesses for mission trips.  This takes very litle work.  Generally, we have students come to the church with five to ten business names and then do it right at the church so that we can keep up with what students sent letters where.  These forms should be all you need to have a successful fundraiser.
