GET SAVED!

It’s time to get back to back to Family

Wanted: Family Time

• It is an unfortunate fact that many of us spend more time in front of a screen than in front of each other. We look at our cell phones and PDAs more than we look at our children or spouses. Without human interaction, learning, laughter and fun it seems we are more sedated than alive, meandering through life on automatic pilot.

Defining the Family

• In the past, religion and food (the diner table) defined our families. It allowed us to connect to each other as a family as opposed to individuals. Church and mealtime defined us. Held us together, celebrated our commonalities. Now, we eat in different rooms, at different times while gazing into one of our various screens – computer, TV, pda , gps, laptop.

What must we do to Get Saved

We Must • Reclaim our families• Save our communal spirit• Limit electronics• Get outside• Step away from the table (we eat more than

we talk anyway)• Establish “Family Game Time"

Families That Play Together, Stay Together by: Dena Smith Givens

• Establish a daily “Family Game Time.” Even if it’s only 30 minutes a day, find a regular time slot in your day where your family can sit down and play a game together. On nice days, take the game outside onto a picnic blanket or outdoor table. Better yet, opt for a physical outdoor activity such as basketball or road hockey on a nice day.

The Question

Someone came to Jesus with this question:“Good Master, what must I do to “Get Saved”?

Matthew 19:16 By Wisdom a house is built, and by

Understanding it is established, And by Knowledge the rooms are filled…And a man of knowledge increases Power.

Proverbs 24:3-5

How To Play The Game (basics)

• Step 1) Throw your die

• Step 2) Move your assigned pawn clockwise from your ‘home’ position onto your farthest right island marked ‘P’ (pull) or ‘S’ (spin) as you ‘jump’, crossing over into your opponents’ garden as needed.

Now for the Knowledge part• Step 3) If your pawn ends up on an island with

a ‘P’ on it, you may pull one card from the ‘get saved’ card deck or last card discarded.

• Step 4) If your pawn stops on an island with an ‘S’ (spin) on it, you must earn your next pull by spinning the Spinner arrow in the middle of the board. Then pull a card from the Topic deck the arrow points to and answer the Bible question to proceed.

More detailed Instructions are in the Instruction and Notes Booklet

• A) If you answer the question incorrectly, you may not pull from the deck nor play any matched pair(s). Play moves on to the next person in clockwise position who will likewise follow the steps above.

• B) If you answer the Bible question correctly, you may pull from the deck. (Then go back to Step 3 instructions.)
