The logs with the colored light works well. You might want to see if anyone has fake indoor fireplace logs (plug in not gas). A good slow worship song before you speak is always good to set the tone. You probably don't want to do a long sermon but not to short of a devotion either. You want to give something to the boys that they can kind of ponder on. Since you are planning to do Sign language, maybe you can tell the story of Helen Keller. You can talk about all the obstacles she faced and how she overcame them. You can relate it to how our Christian walk can be the same way. Hope this helps. God Bless.

Hey all,We are experiencing The Blessing of the Lord within our Rangers outpost. Last week we had the most boys we've had since I've been with our outpost. This week one of last week's first timers brought a friend to make even more than last week (16)! Which brings me to a question for y'all.Next weekend we are having a lock in. We are making it an advancement lock in where we will earn the Ropecraft and Basic Sign Language Merits. The boys are excited and planning on a lot of fun as we haven't had a lock in in about a year. However, with new boys coming, I want to do an indoor council fire service to make an impact. Brings me to my question for y'all to ponder. Having never seen an actual council fire I don't know how to modify one for indoors. Any suggestions for an indoor council fire? Do I just give a short devotion or a slightly longer sermonette? I know the main goal is to point the boys to Jesus, but the best way at a council fire would be how?I only have a week to get this ready, so any help, suggestions, tips or pointers you can give me are gratefully appreciated.In His Service,DJ
