IMPLEMENTASI MAKNA FILIPI 2:2 PADA ANAK SEKOLAH MINGGU MELALUI PERMAINAN TRADISIONAL MENARA BOY

Children's ministry at church must be taken seriously by all related parties. Children should be taught to know God through effective Bible teaching. Designing instructional media at Sunday Schools is unavoidable. The purpose of this community service was to help the church use a traditional game, 'Menara Boy', to implement the meaning of Philippians 2:2 concerning teamwork to achieve a common goal and introduce the younger generation to traditional games. The community service was conducted in two phases: Bible teaching and implementation through playing the game. The result taught children to love and help each other as a family of God. This teaching was effectively implemented when playing 'Menara Boy'—based on the reflections at the end of the game, children admitted that their failure in the game was caused by focusing on themselves and failing to work with others as a team. Therefore, the community service team will recommend using other traditional games as instructional media if the game contains positive values according to the truth of God's Word.Pelayanan anak dalam gereja perlu mendapat perhatian yang serius dari semua pihak terkait. Anak-anak harus dididik untuk mengenal Allah melalui pembelajaran Alkitab yang efektif. Peningkatan media belajar di sekolah minggu menjadi kebutuhan yang tidak bisa dielakkan. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah menolong mitra memanfaatkan media permainan tradisional Menara Boy untuk mengimplemantasikan makna Filipi 2:2 tentang kerja sama mencapai tujuan bersama dan sekaligus memperkenalkan permainan tradisional pada generasi saat ini. Kegiatan pengabdian dilakukan dalam 2 bentuk yaitu pembelajaran Alkitab dan bermain permainan tradisional sebagai implementasinya. Hasilnya anak-anak sekolah minggu diajar untuk saling mengasihi dan tolong menolong di antara sesama saudara dalam Tuhan. Pembelajaran ini diimplementasikan dengan baik ketika bermain Menara Boy. Berdasarkan refleksi diakhir permainan, anak-anak mengakui bahwa kegagalan dalam permainan diakibatkan karena fokus pada diri sendiri dan gagal menjalin kerja sama sesama anggota kelompok. Dengan demikian tim pengabdi merekomendasikan untuk memanfaatkan permainan tradisional lainnya untuk digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran, tentunya permainan tradisional yang mengandung nilai positif yang sejalan dengan kebenaran Firman Allah
