Sunday Morning Squirrels:
I've been sick the last few days. This morning I took cough medicine to help me get through the day. Turns out, it was NOT non-drowsy. I've been loopy all morning and gave what I think was my best middle school talk yet. I don't think these things are related, but they might be.
Oh well!
Another day in middle school ministry!
Countdown Video:
Vintage Jesus 04
The last vintage Jesus video (that I'm area of!) was played this week. It's a little slow, but my students still got it. I'm hoping we can have some inside jokes with these lines. "What in the name of ME is going on in here?" is still my favorite.
Games:
Two of a Kind
Instead of a competition all play game, this week we just did a mixer. I honestly loved this one because students kept finding new pairs of people to do the easy task with! A great game to get students together with new people!
Total Recall
This game was tough! It worked out for us though, because we brought up all of our January birthday students to play, so there were a lot on stage. I recommend this game, but make sure to give students a point for each of the three questions they get right for each video. Points are free so give them out!
Songs:
Burn like a Star
Cornerstone
Bible Study:
This was the last week of "TWELVE", our study on the disciples of Jesus. This week we looked at when the disciples argued about being the best in the Kingdom. Jesus rebuked them (like multiple times, as we showed in our study) and told them that in order to lead, they must serve! 
We then told students to focus on using their desires to live for God!
Main Idea:
Following Jesus means making His desires ours!
Scripture:
Matthew 20:21-28
