Reply to "Priscilla and Aquilla the Tentmakers (Acts 18) All Workshop Lessons/Ideas"

Let's Brainstorm some ideas about Priscilla and Aquilla


1. They were tentmakers
.
Tents, awnings, sails, sacks, ...anything that needed sewing, they could make or repair.

How about sewing colorful sail cloth into a patchwork sail, quickly stapling it to mast/boom-dowels, and sticking the 'mast' into a floating piece of wood which has been pre-shaped like a boat.

The boat can be named "The Church" and the sail catching the Breath/Wind of God represents Priscilla and Aquila. Add sail pieces with names, or write on the sail names of people in the lives of the students who help the student and church move. Have a baby pool in the workshop and a large fan to float the boats.

The boat is a familiar metaphor for the church which you can do some floating/storm/steering demonstrations with to illustrate some points about the church. Paul rode a lot of boats too! <>< Neil


2. Apollos Sunday School
They "schooled" Apollos who was a popular early evangelist mentioned in the Book of Acts. He had faith, but he didn't know a lot about Jesus. They told him. WHAT DID THEY TELL APOLLOS?

Play the Telephone Game:
Try passing on an important story about Jesus. This illustrates the importance of attending so you get it right.

Play the "What Do We Know?" Game:
Put a picture of Jesus on the cross and write the words, "The Messiah said, Father Forgive Them for they don't know what they're doing". Ask: Without saying or knowing anything else about Jesus, what does this picture and those words TELL YOU about Jesus' mission, character, and identify?

Play "Send the Gospel into Outer Space" Game (like the lifeboat game)
Pull out a can and say "We have been charged to select ONLY THREE stories about Jesus to send in outer space on a mission beyond the solar system. What stories will we choose, and in what order should we place them? Brainstorm a list of stories (and have some ready) onto a flipchart. After debating/voting, tear off the stories and put them in the can. <>< Neil

Please add your ideas!
