As my wife was preparing for this week's lessons for our children's ministry programs, she came across this game that was supposed to connect the kids to Paul being called by the people (actually the Bible has it as one man) of Macedonia to come and help them (Acts 16:9). This is a production from one of the leading children's ministry curriculum and teaching organizations. Most of us have watched their children's videos!
"List of suppplies: Newspapers, large baskets, boxes, or paper bags.
Divide the group into two teams. One side will be Paul and his friends, which will have the newspapers. the other side will be the Macedonians, which will have the baskets, boxes, or paper bags. The two teams line up on opposite sides of the playing area. The Macedonians will call out: Come over and help us!
The other side will make paper wads to represent Paul and try to toss them into the baskets. The Macedonian side should try to catch the paper wads. After a while, collect all paper wads and switch sides."
Hmmm... theology here: Paul as a paper wad. Wow, this children's ministry stuff is getting deep.

Just one more reason we should only use curriculum that we know is theologically sound because it was written by members of the Lord's Church.. the Church of Christ...

Hmmm... This calls for a dogpile.
