SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (9–10 minutes)
Pass out magazines and newspapers and direct the youth to look through them and find stories about oppression and injustice. Give them 5-7 minutes to find as many articles as they can. Call the group back together and share results. Ask, “In your opinion, do we live more in a just or an unjust society?”

CONNECT: (5 minutes)
Now ask:
“Would your answer be different if you lived in another part of town, either in a richer part of town or a poorer part of town? Would your answer be different if you lived in Central America? Sudan? Iraq?” Finish the discussion with this question, “How do you think God views our society, as just or unjust and why?”

EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (10–12 minutes)
For the rest of your time together, you and the students will participate in a prayer activity that will encompass this part (Explore the Bible), Apply and Respond. All three movements will blend into each other. Called Lectio Divina (the youth don’t need to know the name) this prayer practice is a way to pray the scriptures, listen for what God is telling you (Apply) and then sharing what God wants to you to do (Respond).
