Asleep

Preparation
The group will be divided into teams of 8 persons, each arranged in a circle. Each circle will have a disciple (adult) to watch them.

Activity
1. The group has one minute to form a circle around the disciple with not more than four points of contact with the ground. (Members may not lie across the ground)
2. After 1 minute time will be called, and disciples will take note of the group. If the group has not reached the correct arrangement, the disciple falls asleep and that team is out.
3. This continues with remaining teams forming new arrangements every minute. i.e. they must arrange themselves differently.
4. The team which keeps their disciple awake the longest will be rewarded.

Application
1. Sometimes the desire to accomplish a task is not enough. There must also be confidence in God and commitment to him. The disciples falling asleep in the garden of Gethsemane was one event in which you see a lack of commitment. Jesus in the Garden is an example of real commitment.
2. Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-46, John 18:1, Matthew 26:36-46 - Garden of Gethsemane
