| SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS: (10–15 minutes) When students arrive, do not let them enter the room, but keep them in the hall or another convenient place. When all students are present, say something like this: We all make plans. Most of the time things work out the way we plan. Sometimes, though, things don’t quite go the way we expect them to. We might have to make some adjustments. Then there are those times that everything that could possibly go wrong does and our well laid plans end up on the scrap heap. Allow students to look into the room to see the beautiful table of food prepared for them but do not allow them to enter. Tell them maybe later we’ll go in, and then proceed to lead them around in the church or go outdoors. After five or ten minutes of wandering around bring them back to look in the room to make sure everything is still okay. Make one more tour around the church or outside and return. Enter the room but do not allow students to be seated at the table. Sit in a circle in one corner of the room. Divide the class into groups of 3-5 students. Hand out paper and pencils. Say: We live in an age of instant everything. We don’t like to wait. Waiting is not a desirable thing in our society. Think of times in your life where you had to wait to get something you really wanted very badly. Make a list of things for which you’ve had to wait. On the back of the same paper list four or five things or places in your life where delayed gratification turned out to be a blessing, or areas where you are still waiting and hoping you will be blessed for waiting. Invite students to the table to enjoy the food. Continued... |
