On Friday April 17th, our Salt & Light Youth Group gathered for their final session of the Spring season. The lesson for the evening was named “Walking with the Risen Jesus”.
During the breakout groups, the facilitators led the youth through a carefully guided discussion which addressed issues such as “Is it ok to have doubts and uncertainties about my faith?”. The lesson reflects on a reading from the Gospel of John 20:19-31, which tells the story of Jesus appearing to the disciples after his Resurrection, and the doubt displayed by one of the disciples, Thomas. The children engaged in meaningful conversation about what challenges they face in their daily lives that could cause them to have doubts about their own faith and what they can do to grow through those challenges.
After the breakout groups, all the facilitators and youth gathered in the Sanctuary, where Der Hayr and few of our senior members reflected on the lesson for the group. We are happy to have concluded another successful season of Salt & Light Youth Group meetings and we look forward to celebrating with all the kids at our Summer Kick-Off Social on June 5th.
