END OF THE YEAR YOUTH GROUP RECAP
The Youth Group spent time talking about our faith, what it means, and how we share it with the world. We facilitated discussions using various media. Sessions covered the topics of shining your light, trusting God, growing in faith, God as our armor, kindness and caring, the power of words, serving others, forgiveness, trust in God, friendship, courage, and prayer. There were several challenge nights, a game night, and two movie nights. We watched the movies ‘Wonder’ and ‘Brave’.
We have been working on getting to know our Bible through looking up passages and reading them aloud. Passages are linked to the topic of the week.
Most weeks, there has been a craft or activity of some kind relating to our topic. Here are some of the crafts we did this year.
• Built spooky cookie houses
• Created graffiti art
• Made glow jars
• Diamond art
• Friendship bracelets
• Intuitive journaling
Despite multiple attempts to arrange a youth group outing, the kids had too many competing priorities, and we were unable to find a date that suited them. In the fall of 2026, I plan to do the outing early in the year.
