SESSION GOAL:
To help students realize the power of a loving response to an enemy.

SESSION OBJECTIVES:
By the end of the session students will be familiar with an Old Testament story and Jesus’ words regarding a non-violent response to our enemies, and will have processed their own response to an “enemy” in their lives.

MATERIALS NEEDED AND ADVANCE PREPARATION:
1 - Dartboard and darts
2 - 1 8x10 picture of Jesus (if you have the Nov/Dec 2004 issue of WITH Magazine, that’ll work. If you need a copy, email carold@mennoniteusa.org)
3 - 1 8x10 piece of construction paper
4 - One piece of 3x5 paper and pen for each student
5 - Scotch tape
6 - Bibles for each student
7 - A CD player and a CD with a song that challenges listeners to follow Jesus, love our enemies—something on that theme. If you don’t have a song, call several youth prior to class and ask them to bring one.
NOTE TO TEACHER: Take time before the lesson to think of ways you have responded positively to people you had a hard time getting along with; and a time when you just ignored or didn’t deal very well with a person you didn’t like.
