| "HOW RADICALLY COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER IS YOUR CHURCH?" by Carol Duerksen | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 111
|
||||||||||||
| APPLY AND RESPOND: Option 1: If your group is ready to “go there,” do it—give both affirmation and constructive criticism to each one. Talk about personality and behavior, things that inspire and things that tick each other off, things they are saddened by and things that bring joy. Other options: If your group isn’t ready to be this open and honest, that’s fine. Here are several options: 1 Invite your pastor(s) and/or elders to come visit with your youth about how they encourage church members to be “radically committed to each other.” 2 Invite church members to come share examples of when they felt the church community “being there” for them. If possible, include examples when church people challenged as well as affirmed each other. 3 Invite a social worker or psychologist to come give some tips on how to creatively confront and affirm each other.
