Building with LEGO®

This morning I had my first Action Group meeting with Student Life at the University chapel. Chris, the guy from Student Life I talked to last week, invited me to join him in the chapel to talk a bit more about God and how to share God’s message to others at Uni. When I arrived at the chapel at 10am, I met two other guys there as well. We discussed our struggles in our faith and talked through topic of “Stepping from Uncertainty to Confidence”. It was a pretty interesting chat after all, we’re meeting again next Friday.

Our group's LEGO model

On the topic of churchy stuff, tonight at Youth Group we had activity night. Calum led worship while I played the piano (tried to!). We also brought Angie along with us to Youth Group tonight as well. Gabrielle led the programme and told us that we’d be building a model using Lego. There was a bit of a twist though. Each group had to nominate someone as the ‘President’ and someone as the ‘Vice President’. In another room, Gabrielle had constructed a model earlier using different Lego pieces and each group had to recreate it without looking at the original. Only the President in each group could see the original model and then report to the Vice President what it looked like. The Vice President then went back to the room where the rest of the team was and had to tell them how to create the model, but only being able to answer “yes” or “no”. In our group I was the Vice President while Rebecca was the President. It took our group a bit of an effort to get started, but once we had the base sorted, things started to take off quite quickly. Rebecca did a great job explaining how the different pieces were positioned, using her arms and hands to show me on the wall. In the end we managed to finish the whole model, and amazingly we were only one space off from being exactly perfect. Great team work guys!
