YOUTH GROUP LESSON 36

|||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: Arrange for persons who work with your church facility to come give your students a tour of the church building. This could include custodians, trustees, pastors, groundskeepers, any persons who work with the actual building and its upkeep. 2 Invite someone who knows the history of the church building to come and share a few highlights of its past. SESSION OUTLINE Begin the session by making the following statement, and asking students who agree with it to move to the right side of the room, disagree to the left side. They must choose one side or the other. The Church is not a building. Ask students to explain their answers. Say: We often say that the church is not a building, it is the body of believers, and that is very true.

Today we are going to look at the church building, and we have some people here to help us do that. Introduce the guests and their roles. BACKGROUND: Invite your guest to share some highlights of the church building’s history. When was it built? What were some of the issues around building the church? Invite guests to share about the roles they play in the upkeep of the church. Ask them to talk about what does it take to keep a church building in good shape. Continued... |
