Meeting Info: They Need You (1st July)
June 24, 2011 at 12:01 pm | Posted in Meeting Info | Comments OffTheme: Giving
Aim: To encourage the young people to give their time, money and help to those who need it
Everybody needs help sometimes. And those of us who have plenty of
money, time and energy should be ready to share these things with other
people. This session encourages the youth to take charge in helping others rather
than waiting for somebody else or saying no. Be prepared to share stories of what
others have given to help you and how you have helped others.
Key Bible Verses: Deuteronomy 22:1-3, Matthew 25:35-40, Hebrews 13:5-6
Meeting Info: Keep The Faith (24th June)
June 17, 2011 at 11:58 am | Posted in Meeting Info | Comments OffTheme: Faith
Aim: To understand what faith is and recognise that biblical faith isn’t blind faith
In today’s society it is sometimes difficult to have faith, especially when
what we have faith in is not visible to the rest of the world. In today’s session
we aim to give the young people a better understanding of what faith really is and to
trust God even if it seems crazy to the rest of the world.
Key Bible Verses: Hebrews 11:1
Meeting Info: This Could Get Messy… (17th June)
June 10, 2011 at 7:54 pm | Posted in Meeting Info | Comments OffTheme: Messy Games
Aim: To have fun and get messy
This session is all about simple, uncomplicated fun and getting messy.
It also looks at how our lives get messy and what God has to say about that.
Do whatever you can to encourage your young people to get involved, even if
they’re initially reluctant to get messy. Make sure that the leaders help in this by
getting involved in the mess themselves. There is a lot of mess involved though, so
warn your young people about this, in advance of the session. It might be advisable
for them to each bring a change of clothes. Due to the mess, it may be a good idea
for some games to be played outside, or at least for the floor to be covered with
newspaper or tarpaulins. Plenty of water and towels will be very helpful for the
young people to clean themselves up.
Key Bible Verses: Psalm 51:1-7
Meeting Info: Questions (10th June)
June 3, 2011 at 11:51 am | Posted in Meeting Info | Comments OffTheme: Asking Questions
Aim: To become better questioners and to learn to live with unanswered questions
Questioning is a fine way of discovering truth. We should be grateful for
those people who have patiently answered our questions and for those to
whom we can still go with our questions. We should give thanks not just for those who
answer our questions but also for those who question our answers. Young people are
often very good at this. If we welcome their questions and, rather than attempt to
provide glib answers, encourage them to ask more questions, they may well catch on
that questioning is a healthy part of our ongoing search for truth.
Key Bible Verses: Proverbs 9:10; 1 John 4:1
