YOUTH

The Middle and High school years in a student’s life are highly significant in shaping their understanding of God and life in the Jesus way. Our hope is to create spaces in these years for our youth to in grow their faith, spiritual friendships, and a sense of belonging.

FORMATION

WORD & TABLE

At All Souls, we value the practices of living out life together as followers of Jesus with our Youth. The rhythms of our Sunday liturgy together, modeling ancient Christian practices, loving our neighbors, the work of justice, all of these things are done alongside youth. Our desire is for our youth to be with us as much as possible in our worship together, not as passive participants, but as active members of our community. Because of this, we encourage all members of our youth group to consider where they might serve on a Sunday (passing out liturgy guides, scripture reader, setup, kids, etc).

FORMATION

Youth Group is our weekly rhythm that brings into focus our three-fold hopes: to grow faith in Jesus, spiritual friendships, and a sense of belonging. We eat lunch together following corporate worship, play together, and spend some time in spiritual formation. Our formation is aimed at getting students more familiar with the story that holds us: the Good News of Jesus the Messiah.

SCRIPTURE READING PLAN

We have created a three year reading plan that will take our students through the whole the Bible. Our plan is 6 days/week, and includes readings each day from the Psalms, Gospels, and one other book of the Bible. Our aim is to introduce students to the books of the Bible as complete literary units, with their own design and method of communication. Thus, our reading plan is intended to teach our students the language of prayer (Psalms), keep them in touch with Jesus who is at the heart of our faith (Gospels), and introduce them to the unified story of the Scriptures that find their fulfillment in Jesus (Everything Else). All are welcome to join us in the journey.

Reading Plan: June through October
