time

GAME

Get everyone to stand up and tell them to sit down when they think 1 minute has elapsed. (Remember to time it!) You may need to adapt this by getting people to put their hand up and put it down when they think the time's passed instead. A prize may help for the person closest to 1 minute!

POINT

Time is really important. Before we know it, it's gone so make sure you make the most of it. John Erskine wrote a famous book called 'Helen of Troy' almost completely in cars commuting between home and university. How do you use your spare time? Stephen Hawking the famous scientist/physicist hasn't let the fact that he has motor neurone disease stop him - no, he has determined to make the most of his time using his mind.

YOU MATTER

It is easy to feel a bit left out in this world of ours of 6 billion people but God created you in his image. Don't spend time on things that aren't really important but on what really matters - how you treat other people, how you value yourself and making the most of every opportunity. God created the world in 7 days - what a way to spend 7 days! The best part of his work in his own words is you and me! Don't waste your time but make it count
