Bible Part
Gwen was using drink and drugs to such an extent they took over her life.
I want you in groups of 5 to look at what the Bible says about how we
should behave at a party and whether we should be drinking alcohol and taking
drugs.
Going to parties and having a drink is not wrong if you are old enough.
It’s when it goes past having a drink and moves onto drunkenness that the
bible warns us against it. The bible does not have any specific references to
drugs but there are verses warning us to think carefully about what we do to
ourselves.
[Set out two trays of sand put in them enough Tea tree lights for
everyone]
I think this is one area we can really stand up for God. So if you want
to come before God and say yes I am going to do this your way, put your name
on the silver case and light the candle. Then spend a few minutes asking God
to strengthen you and be your guide when you are in difficult situations.
[Close with prayer and tell them to take the candles home and put them
somewhere they can see them to remind them of their prayer]
Useful numbers for information on alcohol and drugs.
