Collaborative Partners Blog Series: Bethesda Lutheran Communities

Image
In April and May we are going to introduce several of our very experienced collaborative partners in our community who have come alongside us, our friends, their families and churches to train toward excellent inclusion of our friends and their families. You as Young Life staff and volunteers being aware of these key co-laborers is quite critical for excellence in transition. Historically, as you will read in these blogs, our community "partners” have been the link not just for our Capernaum friends but also for their family members. We often lead with I Corinthians 12:4-11 as a call toward inclusion of our friends into the body of Christ. What if we read I Corinthians 12:4-11 through the lens of being inclusive of excellent community co-laborers to move us all toward the fullness of the body of Christ? What kind of vision could this give your area? Imagine organizations working together and our friends thriving. We invite you to introduce yourself to the staff of these minist

Club Talk Resource: Jesus Death on the Cross

Looking for a great visual regarding the incredible reality that Jesus’ death on the cross freed us from sin because He took our sin upon himself?!  Well, look no further because Robb Schreiber saw this, practiced multiple times, found just the right tools needed and videoed for us to learn from! We love that he thought about the specific kids in his club when he considered every detail, down to the color of the water!  There is also a helpful  blog post  about it. You may want or need to change a few details as well, so there are other versions of this on YouTube. You can watch more to see how it’s done in other ways. If you’re going to try this in your club, be sure to practice a few times! Have great visuals that have worked well in your club? Send them our way, we’d love to learn from you too!

Club Idea: Karaoke Club

Image
  This club looks different than a typical layout, but was a fun change. Set up the room to look like a Karaoke lounge. Have black tablecloths and flickering lights on the table. As kids arrive, have them sit at the tables and enjoy a meal.   Pass a signup sheet for Karaoke around with a column for name, song title and artist. NOTE: Only allow each kid one song. If you have a large group you may want to just have them perform the chorus or a set amount of time of the song. Set up a laptop where you can pull the lyrical videos from YouTube, and attach the sound through an aux cord to the speakers. After about 3 songs play a game Called Real or Fake Song Titles At the tables were signs, one side in green said real and on the other in red said fake. When a song title goes up on the screen, have each table decide as a group if it was real or fake. Make a card for each kid so everyone can participate!
