Youth Group
|
The Youth Program offers youth (6th - 9th graders) a curriculum that consolidates what has been learned at the elementary level and helps prepare them for the questions discussed in confirmation.
The primary emphasis is on two points of reference:
Outreach to the Community and Finding the Spirit Within
The basic principles of the curriculum include:
*concentrated study & discussion of Bible lessons (establishing Christian traditions as a life resource);
*making a difference in other people's lives through outreach;
*planning & attending social/charitable events that involve faith, hope & love, as well as fun;
*experiencing the power of the spiritual in meditation, prayer, labyrinth, sanctuary services, sharing stories, sharing enlightening and renewing experiences, song and music;
*valuing and practicing love for family, friends, community and world.
