| THE HUMAN CHRISTMAS TREE And More Christmas Games |
December 10, 2002
December’s already here- here’s some quick games in the spirit of the season!
The Human Christmas Tree:
You can play this as an up front game or, if you have a small group, just divide your group into teams. Have as many teams of 3 or 4 as you want. Designate one person “the Christmas tree,” and the other team members “the decorators.” Each decorator has a bag full of ornaments, lights, and/or any tree decorations. Give each team 5 minutes to decorate their team member. When finished, turn off all the lights and plug in the "Christmas Trees." The student lights up like a tree. It’s hilarious in a dark room.

| TOP 10 SIGNS THAT YOUR PASTOR’S WATCHING WAY TOO MUCH STAR WARS |
December 10, 2002
Every once in a while we just like to have a little fun . . . and one way we do that is through our Top 10 Lists. Here’s my most recent list, the "Top 10 Signs That Your Pastor’s Watching Way Too Much Star Wars." – Jonathan –
- 10. He brags that the church van "did the Kessel run in three parceps!"
9. He ordered small brown hooded robes for the children’s choir.
8. When he’s working in his office he posts a sign on the door, "Le Jabba no botha."
7. Last time a Jehovah’s Witness came to his door he retorted, "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
6. When his secretary calls him on his intercom, he demands being addressed as "Red-5.”
5. You catch him talking to his garbage can saying, "I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win."
4. He tells you that the jr. high room smells like bantha poodoo.
3. When the children’s director shares her fear of recruiting teachers, he responds "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
2. When he’s late for a board meeting he says, "When 900 years you reach, see how on-time you will be!"
. . . and the #1 sign that your pastor is watching way too much of the Star Wars Movies . . .
1. He tried to sneak an Ewok into the manger scene in the Christmas program.
