| "A FAITH JOURNEY RETREAT" by Carol Duerksen | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 104
|
||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: • Locate a place for this 24-hour retreat. • Make arrangements for food, etc. • Talk with youth about whom they would like to invite to the retreat—adults within your congregation, or other adults whose faith journey they would like to hear about. Come up with a list of adults to invite—approximately the same number of adults as youth. Some suggestions to consider as you come up with your list: • Who has had a “up and down” faith journey? • Who has had God’s amazing grace very evident in their life? • Who is willing to be vulnerable and open in sharing? • Who do you not know very well? • Invite the adults to your retreat, explaining that they will be invited to share personal aspects of their faith journey with the youth. • Get supplies • paper, pens • hour glass game timer • video “God Grew Tired of Us” and equipment to show it • see “optional sessions” for other supplies needed • Copies of the quote at the end of this session • Bibles for everyone (tell people to bring their own to the retreat but have extra available.) • Craft option for final session: Provide options for participants to take home a reminder of the “faith mantra” they chose.
