Meijer's

Theme of large group: The Good Samaritan:

36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."

Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

It's easy to make excuses not to help people. It's easy to be afraid, to not want to veer off our own busy schedules, to try to justify by saying we can't help anyone anyways. But life is bigger than ourselves. I think we're all working on that.

After large group, we went to Meijer and did the scavenger hunt game. It was fun. Mejier is huge, so you can pick pretty much anything to search for. Mike bought a lot of yogurt and ice cream. I have no idea why, since it's like 20 degrees outside.

Shalom.
