Most of our house church members like to play games. We have frequent 'game nights' and many times we enjoy games on Sundays after communion. Here are a couple of pictures of us playing Bananagrams, (one of our newest games, and very fun.)
Another of our new games is ImaginIff. A sample card is "Imaginiff we were on a sinking boat with only enough time to save one item. Which player would save a blow dryer?" Seven out of eight players said Jacob would save the blow dryer. Seven out of eight players were right, and that only happens when you spend lots of time together. Because of the closeness in relationships, our house church knows things like this about each other. It's very refreshing. By the way, the eighth player that didn't say Jacob, was Jacob!
The Hill Oikos is one of nine house churches operating under Oikos Ministries. The objective of Oikos Ministries is to train disciples who will live what Jesus taught. I John 1:7 states "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin." It is easy to adopt a belief system and sit in a religious environment claiming you are Christian. It is quite another thing to live in a relational environment with others observing the things you say and do on a regular basis.
