|
|||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: 1 The purpose of these two session is to discern leaders for your youth group. Invite everyone that you want to be a part of this process. 2 Pray about the sessions. Invite others to be in prayer for it prior to and during the sessions. 3 Paper and pencils 4 Newsprint and markers 5 Bibles SESSION ONE 1 Welcome participants to the meeting and open with a prayer. Then explain that this meeting time is to discern who might be involved in leadership of your youth group. Explain that this will not be a popularity contest. It will not necessarily involve deciding that the persons with the “right answers” all of the time are to be the leaders. It may not be the persons who are especially outgoing. It may be a person who doesn’t have it all together. Bottom line, it should be a person or persons who are honest about their relationship with God, and are open to seeking God and growing with God. 2 Spend 10 minutes in silent prayer. You may wish to send participants to their own space during this time, or keep everyone in the room. Either way, everyone is to spend the 10 minutes seeking God, asking God to be a part of the process, asking God to bring to mind those who should be involved in leadership. 3 Hand out paper and pencils. Ask everyone to write down the names of persons they feel God might call to be a leader. Remind them that the main criteria are persons who they believe are honestly and actively seeking a growing relationship with God. 4 Collect the papers and make a list on the newsprint of the persons named. Remind students not to negate any of the persons named, and not to think “no way” if they see the name of someone they don’t agree with. Remind students to trust God and the discernment process. 5 Read Luke 1:26-38 with the participants. Continued... |
