| "A FAITH JOURNEY RETREAT" by Carol Duerksen | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 104
|
||||||||||||
| INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS: Invite adults to share their faith journeys, using the words on the papers as part of their storytelling. Depending on the size of your group and time frame, you may want to do this within the smaller groups, and you may need more than one session for this. After each adult shares, ask each young person to think of one aspect of the adult’s story that they most identify with and to name it. OPTIONAL SESSIONS: Use the sessions from ymroadtrip.org called “Faith Journey Road Map” and “Faith Journeys of Four Biblical Women” as part of this retreat. LATE NIGHT MOVIE: Watch the video: “God Grew Tired of Us: The Story of the Lost Boys of Sudan” WRAP UP SESSION: Hand out the quote from Kyra-lin Hon and ask people to turn to the book of Hebrews. Read the quote with the group, then ask everyone to read Hebrews 11:1-13, 12:1-14, and 13:1-6 silently. Discuss: 1 How does Hebrews 11:1 tie in with Kyra’s words? 2 What are some “by faith” stories that you know personally? How about the ones you heard this weekend? 3 Who is in the “great cloud of witnesses” around you? (12:1-2) 4 Find a verse in these passages that you could make your personal mantra—your life’s theme. Share it with the group. Optional: Take time for participants to memorize and/or make something to take home with their verse on it. Download this Session's Reproducible PDF - "Faith Is..." |
