• *The United Church of Canada is one of the members of the World Council of Churches. More information on youth who are part of member churches see World Council of Churches youth page link. Ask the youth if they know what it means to be “ecumenical” [defined as concerning Church unity: relating to, involving, or promoting the unity of different Christian churches and groups; and involving friendship between religions: involving or promoting friendly relations between different religions].
Is there another area youth group that is not United Church that you could invite to join you for an evening of fun?
Consider using this time together to plan such an event for the fall.
Who would the youth like to invite?
How could you do so?
What activities would you like to plan for?
Would you provide food and drinks - if so are there any special dietary needs that need to be taken into account?
Would there be worship/prayer to which both groups could be invite to plan and lead?
~Play “Jenga: names of God” idea found at Jenga: Names of God link - you can play this with just one or two. You could also adapt it to images of Jesus/Christ (“Comforter”, “Prince of Peace”, etc.), various denominational names involved in the World Council of Churches, etc.
* Just for You ~ Hear Carol Howard Merritt, author of The Tribal Church on plurality link.
~Read “Theology of Play” at Theology of Play link.
