Description
A devotional box! Devotional books are great, but children and youth will love this hands on approach to experiencing God.
At Youth Ministry Conversations, we believe you know your group best. This means our resources look a little different than what you may have experienced in the past. This resource takes some work on your part to put together (it’s how we keep the costs down). We hope you will find opportunities to make this resource work for your group in ways we could never anticipate.
This Study:
Are you familiar with Bon Jovi’s song “I Wish Every Day Could Be Like Christmas”? While it sounds nice at first, I have to admit that if everyday were like Christmas, eventually I would get tired of Christmas. When we examine the Church calendar, we find that throughout the year we have both times of feasting and times of fasting. As Christians this calendar teaches and models for us that before we feast, we must take time to fast. Within each week of this devotion, we will focus on different things that fill our lives and be challenged to limit doing, consuming, and partaking in these things. While the 40 days of Lent can seem like a really long time to give things up, we will also learn about and celebrate “Mini-Feasts” that are recognized by Christians around the world during Lent. As we begin this Lenten journey, I hope you will be open to fasting with the mindset that in giving things up, we are creating the opportunity to be filled with God’s love, joy, and peace.
