Prayer

The post-Confirmation teen years may be ones where teaching the Catechism may be more difficult. Teens want to know how this material applies to their lives today. They want to dig deeper than perhaps they did in Confirmation. This three-part Bible study is the fourth in a series that take Catechism content and present it for high school students.

The next set of studies in this Confirmation 2.0 series will focus on the Lord’s Prayer. Through this series, we focus on learning to pray by listening to the words the Lord has given us to pray. The first session we explore Old Testament prayers of the people of God, and in the second, we look at Jesus’ own prayers. In the final session we look at Jesus' unforgettable response with the disciples asked him about prayer.

Young people are a part of our church as much as any others and need to be seen and accepted as such. In this article, talks about how congregations can integrate youth and listen to them through their ministry.

This skit and devotion work together to talk about the importance of prayer. Youth may doubt God is listening to their prayer, but this discussion will help them think about God's response. The key focus is that God hears all our prayers to Him. We can love and trust Him to answer our prayers according to His will.

Jesus at the Center is four studies that are center stories from the Gospels. With each story, we focus on what Jesus has done for us and how through the Holy Spirit, we can model that behavior in our own life. These studies can be done as a stand alone or they can be done together.

While other generations have experienced challenges, many of today’s teenagers are struggling to cope. The reasons why don’t really matter nearly as much as our response to their pain. Join us for praying for the pressure our young people feel

Our younger generation is still building resiliency of character. They lack experience and are still developing their understanding of self. Supportive Christian adults can be powerful in their lives to help point them back to Jesus in tumultuous times. Join us in praying for the character of our youth people.

It’s a hallmark of young adulthood to survive the tumultuous years of changing friendships and significant others, and to navigate the tricky dance to independence with one’s parents. In this devotion, we lift up in prayer the relationships of young people.
