Rules and Regulations 1. In order to identify participants of the program, each child will be given a wrist band that they will be required to wear every day they are attending the program. 2. It is required that every child in the program bring their Activity Books every day they attend the program. Every- one is responsible for the care of their book and must have it completed at the end of the summer for handing in. 3. At the end of the summer, each child will be rewarded for the care and responsibility of their books. They will be graded on completion of the activities, on the condition of the book (not ripped or scribbled on), etc. 4. Books and wristbands are mandatory—as such, the children that bring in their wrist bands and Activity Books each day they attend will be rewarded at the end of the summer. 5. Encourage your children to open the Bible and look up the references used in the activities. 6. Also try to encourage your children to only do the assignment for that day and not go ahead in the book. 7. If you are traveling out of the state, let us know so that we can give you the assignment for the time you will be away so your children can continue to work on the program while not here. 8. It is best for the benefit of the children if they come on time so they can take advantage of all the activities. 9. Please be respectful of the servants sacrificing their time for the program and be very strict in picking up your children on time at night. 10. Children are not allowed to leave the church grounds and must be obedient and respectful of the rules of the church and her servants. In order for the program to be successful, discipline and respect will be taken very seri- ously. 11. The essence of the Olympics League is Christian respect and behavior, therefore children who do not consistently practice this Christian behavior will not be allowed to continue with the program to the Olympics competition day. If any child cannot follow the rules, does not respect his/her brothers and sisters in Christ, does not obey the rules of the program and the servants responsible for them, or causes disruption in the program, they will not be allowed to continue. After school had fi nished, Mark and Marina started preparing for a valuable summer vacation. Marina went to the library and got a lot of books. She organized them so she could start reading them over summer vaction. She prepared the necessary equipment so she could start practicing her favorite sport. As for Mark, a whole week of vacation passed and no 1- one saw him leave his room. This made his parents wonder why he was not leaving My Faith is his room except for short periods of time. Marina went to see how he was doing and Strong and why he was spending a lot of time in his room. Steady Marina: Are you ok? Mark: Yes I am fi ne, but a little busy. Marina: A whole week has passed from the vacation and you have been inside your room. What is keeping you so busy? Mark: Come and see for yourself! Marina: What is that, and how did you get it? Mark: It is an old, ruined robot that we used to play with when we were younger. I found it in the storeroom a week ago. Since then I have been trying to fi x it. I’ve tried everything. I bought spare parts for it and tried them, but it did not work. I tried to recharge it but I still can’t make it work. Marina: Robot?! Why are you trying to fi x this robot in particular? It looks like it was ruined a long time ago. Mark: This robot is the only one that has a special feature allowing it to do just about anything. But you must train it to do the stuff you want. It has the ability to learn and be trained, and then do what it has been taught in the best way possible. Marina: It is truly an amazing robot. If that is the case, it will help us fi x a lot of issues. How can we fi x it and make it work again? Mark: I don’t know. I spent a lot of time researching a way to fi x it on the Internet and in some books, but I can’t fi nd a solution. Mark and Marina went to their dad to ask for a solution. Mark explained all the various methods he used in order to try to fi x his robot and make it work again. Their father suggested that they should take it to the person who made the robot since everything Mark tried failed to make the robot work properly. Mark: I have tried every way possible. Is he going to know another way that we don’t know? We tried all the modern techniques. The father: The person who made it is the only one who knows the way to return it to its original state and make it work again. 2 Mark, Marina and their dad started to search for the robot maker. After a long search on the internet, and after using the information written on the robot they were able to fi gure out who made it. They started collecting everything that belonged to the robot, and they all went to the maker. After many hours had passed, a skillful doctor was able to fi x it and make it work again. Mark: This is amazing! The robot has returned to its original state. I did not expect that. Marina: You’re right Mark. The skillful doctor was able to return the robot to its original state after it was ruined and had stopped working. The father: For sure he did an amazing job. But why are you so surprised? No one can return to his origin unless through his creator. This happened to all of us. Mark and Marina: How? Marina: Can you explain it in a clearer way dad? Dad: Let’s start the story from the beginning... The father: You are right Marina, Although God could have In the beginning, God created Marina: You are right dad. The prevented Adam from eating from second proof that God loves and also God loves man so much the tree, He created him free and man. Before He created him, that He created him in His image left him his free will. Unfortunately, He prepared everything for his man is the way in which He created him. It was different and likeness. After God created Adam and Eve ate from the comfort and made everything forbidden tree and they used their from the creation of all the man, He gave him freedom of under his authority. This proves choice when He told him to eat freedom, which God gave them, in that God loved man before He other creatures.
