When we met with the youth on Thursday we decided to start meeting on Saturdays . . . I just thought that they meant Saturday of NEXT week, since we had already met once this week.
Well . . . at 6:00 p.m. this Saturday, youth started appearing at our door, so we went ahead and had a meeting. I had already studied ahead in Acts, so I was ready to teach.
After the study, we take a break for a snack, then we watch a video or podcast that we have downloaded. This gives us a chance to expose the kids to other great teaching by leaders who are on the cutting edge.
This week we listened to “Prayer: Spiritual Activism” by Erwin McManus and the kids really found it to be very helpful. You can download his podcasts from iTunes . . . definitely cutting edge stuff.
We are planning on starting a prayer meeting for the youth where we teach on prayer and pray together. The kids are intimidated by prayer and do not come to the adult prayer meeting.
In our study in Acts 2, we talked about the importance of the time the believers spent building community and praying while they were waiting for the Holy Spirit |
