Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me." (Matthew 16:24, NIV) Followers of Christianity identify with the cross through these words of Jesus (also in Matthew 10:38 Mark 8:34 Luke 9:23): Protestant churches tend to portray the empty cross, emphasizing the resurrected, risen Christ. This form is known as the crucifix and brings emphasis to the sacrifice and suffering of Christ. Roman Catholic depictions of the cross often reveal the body of Christ still on the cross. The cross today represents Christ's victory over sin and death through the sacrifice of his own body on the cross. Though various forms of the cross existed, the Latin cross was made of two pieces of wood crossed to create four right angles. In all likelihood, it was the shape of the structure upon which Jesus Christ was crucified.
The Latin cross is the most familiar and widely recognized symbol of Christianity today. Many thanks to Adam and the County Youth team for organising and running the day and to Bovevagh for hosting the event.Way of the Cross procession makes its way across the Brooklyn Bridge on Good Friday. Our Beavers were very well behaved and seemed to enjoy the day. Most sang along and did their best to follow the actions. Shout out to Scout section YL Alex for his campfire song – singing in the rain. Of course no Beaver day out is complete without a bouncy castle, and so they had half an hour of bouncing on two inflatables.įinally, they experienced an indoor campfire, where they joined in with some silly campfire songs. Next up, a firm favourite…fires and smores! Each Beaver made a fire lighting kit, lit small fires using flint and steel and then toasted marshmallows for smores. Our own Beaver section YL Robyn helped run this activity. They made ‘Lego’ woggles and designed their own neckers. The next session was a parachute game and the wish tree – Beavers wrote something they would really like to do and by hanging it on the wish tree, their wishes will hopefully come true. Well done to all Ballymoney Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, YL’s and leaders 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 We also invested 2 new scouts and a leader ⚜️Ĭubs had an evening session, practicing knots, making kites, dancing, s’mores (kids brought their own) and invested new cubs and leaders.Īll sections were busy at home with their families completing a variety of challenges over the weekend. Scouts met in the afternoon, took a trip to the local park for some footgolf (set up and ran by YLs), attempted Da Vinci Bridges and then lit campfires and had s’mores (kids brought their own) back at the hall. Eight new beavers were invested and the whole colony made their promise ⚜️ They went home with badges recently earned and resources to make their bee pegs. This time we had the benefit of being able to meet up for part of the camp too 😃īeavers met at the hall first, watched the camp opening live, made our camp pictures, played games and completed the straw rocket craft. Last weekend all sections joined groups from the county and beyond, taking part in another virtual camp.
With this in mind the faces will remain for a week or so for walkers and families to enjoy, then leaders will return to remove any clay from the trees. However, scouts do their best to leave no trace. The forest faces were made using all natural materials, including the clay we used. Well done Beavers, you all earned your hike level 1 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A wee game of duck, duck, goose (standing variation) then home time. Return walk to the car park where Scout section leader had set up an shelter and ground sheet for beavers to enjoy their picnic lunch. Then they moulded the clay into faces and used the materials they collected to create forest faces. They each had a small ball of clay which they stuck to trees. Half way through the hike we stopped for a creative activity. A lovely autumn walk (the rain even stopped and the sun came out!!) collecting leaves, pine cones, seeds and all sorts of natural materials. Beavers visited Castleroe Wood for a hike on Saturday.
