Mercy 2/8/11

This evening our topic was Mercy: replacing punishment with kindness or when someone else gets me out of trouble at his own expense. In relation to the Gospel, truth condemns and mercy frees. We also discussed how we can apply mercy with our brothers & sisters and with how we should show mercy to those who are annoying to us.

During the evening, the girls were split up into five groups and given a parable from the Bible illustrating God's mercy to transform into a skit.

To make it more hilarious, each of the teams were given a bag of random costumes they had to wear & use in their skit.

Abby & Katelyn planning their skit...
