*What image of Jesus do your youth have? A good starting point for discussion might be to do a power point presentation or slide show of Faces of Jesus link and/or Images of Jesus link. There’s also an excellent Jesus Morph Quicktime movie here. Give it a second to download. Ask your youth which images they like *(and why), which ones they don’t *(and why), and which ones are new and intriguing to them. What different qualities of Jesus does each image speak to (i.e. love, suffering servant, healer, holy, etc.) As them to draw/describe/act out what they think Jesus might be like if they met him on the street today.
* Just for You ~ Praying with an on-line lava lamp? Yes it’s true. You can access it here Lava lamp prayer link . Don’t forget to offer prayers for the youth that you serve. And no need to worry. No one but you and God are able to see your prayers here. Try it. It's cool!!
~ A challenging part of youth ministry is retention of volunteers.
