| "A DIFFERENT WAY TO CHOOSE LEADERS" by Carol Duerksen | |||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 55
|
|||||||||||||
| 7 Tell students to write the whole list of names on a piece of paper to take home. Their instructions for the week are to pray over the list. If their name is on the list, they are to pray for God’s leading in their life—whatever that may be. SESSION TWO 1 Paper and pencils 2 Copies of the poem from the other session—one for each student MATERIALS AND ADVANCED PREPARATION: 1 Welcome students and ask them to take their shoes off. Gather in a cicle, and say that the reason you asked them to remove their shoes is because they are on “holy ground” tonight as you discern leadership in the group. 2 Begin with 10 minutes of silent prayer again. Encourage participants to pray for God’s leading in today’s process. 3 Hand out paper and pencils again, and ask students to write down what they felt during the week. Did they feel God putting a name or names in their minds? Were they feeling called themselves? Did they honestly seek God during the past week? 4 Collect the papers and process what you find on the papers. Here you will need to discern what is happening. What do you feel God leading the group to do? Can leadership be shared by all of the persons named? 5 When you have discerned your leaders, invite those who have been called to read the poem together. Note: you may wish to change “Kansas prairies” to your own setting, and guys will want to change the second last line to “guy.” 6 Share a commissioning prayer for those who have been chosen. 7 Invite everyone to take the poem home and to know that it is their poem. Whether or not they are a part of the youth group leadership, they are all called to say “yes” to God in different ways. |
