This week in Power Up, we learned about having integrity.  Integrity is choosing to do or say the right thing - even when it is hard.  We learned that God wants us to have integrity, and in the end, things will be better if we do!

In Large Group, Rom and Ram faced a puzzle challenge.  After deciding that they should move onto other challenges that were more exciting, Rom and Ram attempted to use cheat codes in order to skip ahead a level.  Using the code segments sent from the Game Boss, our tour group was able to unscramble a message and send it to Rom and Ram.  They learned I Will Have Integrity!  After learning this, Rom and Ram completed the puzzle without cheating and got to go ahead to the next level!

In Small Group, we read a story from Daniel 3 about three friends named Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who showed great integrity.  These friends did not follow the king's orders to bow down to a statue because they knew that they should only worship God.  Even when they were faced with having to be thrown in a fiery furnace for disobeying the king, these friends had integrity and chose to do what was right.  God protected them when they were thrown into the furnace since they had integrity!

We also learned the next part of our Memory Verse.  We will continue adding to this verse throughout the series.  Here is what we learned on Sunday:

“Run away from evil things that young people long for.
     (run in place)

Try hard to do what is right.
     (thumbs up)

Have faith, love and peace.”
(count on fingers: 1, 2, 3)

2 Timothy 2:22 (NIrV)

Come back next week to see Rom and Ram take on more challenges within the Sector and learn more about God as we go through the video game!
