Youth Resources

Hello Everybody,

I have been scrambling to keep up with what is going on and trying to figure out how to do Sunday School and Confirmation over the internet. For right now, I have a couple of resources that I would like to share with you.

The first is two "Talk Sheet" lessons for 5th - 8th grade youth. These simple lessons can be done in about ten to fifteen minutes (or longer if the spirit leads!). I would suggest down loading and printing the lesson and instructions, having a Bible and pencil ready, and then going through the lesson with your youngster. You can take as much time and answer as many questions as you feel will be helpful.

One lesson is about using your free time wisely "Footloose". The other lesson is about worship "Looking Up". Both of these might be helpful in our present context. You can do them at any time you wish and in any setting. Use the instructions to get you going. I included two of these talk sheets so that if one doesn't work well you can use the other, or use them both if you have the time! I'm hoping this will work for ages 5th - 8th grade. For confirmation kids, these will count for one Sunday school class session each. Let me know when they are completed and how well the "Talk Sheets" work.

For confirmation kids I have also attached a "sermon note" which can be downloaded and printed. My Sunday and Wednesday evening Lenten Sermon can be found on our Web site (under News, Pastor's Message). Website address is below. Please collect and keep these as they can be handed in when we are through this.

Our second resource is for younger kids and is a worship bulletin for children. Don't be fooled by its size. There's a surprising amount of content here for younger kids that can be done in one session or scattered throughout the day! Again, let me know how this works.

I love our present confirmation material but it doesn't seem to lend itself very well to copying and sending out. Even the book is written in orange print which scans and copies very poorly. It is also very teacher dependent and will need a lot of work to adapt to the internet and home setting.

These are exhausting times. Take care of yourselves. Watch for emails and more information on our website and Facebook page. In the meantime all activities at Bethany are cancelleduntil further notice.

God's Blessings
Pastor Gary
