What is LightLive?

theGRID this week

We have a confession to make... If you use theGRID, you may have noticed that the quiz on this week's lifestyle magazine pages contains some mistakes. Unfortunately, we misprinted some of the multiple choice answers to questions 3, 4 and 10. We've produced a corrected version of page 14 which you can download as a PDF from the link below, and are working to update the sessions on both LightLive and the Light website downloads area.

page 14 from theGRID JM10 (corrected)

We are very sorry for the inconvenience for anyone who usually uses the magazine but hopefully you'll be able to print the PDF out for use with your groups. Do remember that there are also plenty of other activities in session 5 that you could use instead!

If you have any further comments or feedback about Light material, do get in touch with us through the LightLive forums (found under the 'About LightLive' tab). Hope your sessions all go well this week, whether you're using theGRID or Xstream, Splash! or Bubbles - we love to hear how you've got on.

Animated Baby Moses

Hey, hold on, I missed this. I could claim mitigating circumstances but the bottom line is I forgot to post about it.

'What?' I hear you cry.

Well, we did another Bible Friends animation. This one is all about baby Moses. And you can get to it by following this link, although once again if you're not on broadband you may want to give it a miss.

PS Look out for another animation very soon!

Apologies, the link is now fixed

Easter in October?

No, we're not trying to reignite the controversy over the date of Easter. But the majority of the age groups in Light are looking at the Easter story at the moment.

Why?

Well, quite simply, when Easter comes around each year and we meet on Sunday, we jump from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. We miss, or gloss over, some of the most important bits of the gospel message.

So, because we care deeply about such things, we thought we'd take a deeper look now. It has nothing to do with us getting our calendars mixed up.

Remember, Jesus is for life, not just Easter.

The story of Joseph animated

Every so often we create a little something that we think you may enjoy.

Due to the limits of blogger, you'll need to follow the link. I don't think you'll be disappointed. (it may take a while to load, it is 4mb)

Joseph animation (broadband recommended)

This dream is not about sex!

What If Pharaoh had asked Freud what the seven thin and fat cows meant? I’m sure the answer would have involved Pharaoh’s mother, childhood emotional trauma and sex. It may be over simplistic but Freud had a habit of reducing subconscious thought to those three areas.

Fortunately for Pharaoh, and us, Freud wasn’t around during the events of Genesis 41. This meant that Pharaoh’s dreams were interpreted by Joseph. These particular dreams had national implications. They signalled events that would be felt both locally and further afield. Therefore, Joseph turned to God to interpret the dreams and reveal the meaning.

Joseph trusted God and gave the meaning to Pharaoh.

LightLive is currently in the middle of the Joseph account in Genesis. This week, if you’re following the syllabus, Pharaoh’s dreams are the topic.

Let us pray that God will explain the meaning of these passages to us. Then, that we will pass the meaning on clearly to our groups.
