Accepting Love, like accepting an unexpected compliment, sometimes can be hard.
One early morning, I came across a request from a friend -- excited that her church was opening in a new location and that they might encounter new teenaged attendees. She wondered about an activity she might use to bring new teens into the circle, so to speak.
I decided that they needed to give everyone a chance to talk, and time to identify each of themselves and the beliefs "laid upon them." To show gratitude for those teachings or any direct lessons one could recount as being significant. and then to break it apart and use the best of remaining pieces to build something nwe
This is Jill from Sanctuary CSL in Covina. Google Maps shows me that the new location is reflecting such verdant beauty! If you are free from heavy rain on Sunday, it would be a shame not to spend some time outside. I mean that both literally and figuratively -- let the teens be outside the box.
Most 1st time teens might also be accustomed to different teachings, or first time to ours (or any). It's always good to have introductions, and as much as you can encourage it, the freedom to speak about their experience of spirituality. Maybe guided so far as to discuss what they are "told" are their beliefs, and what the "boundaries of one's belief" could grow to be, if each worked at discerning and refining it for themselves.
While I do not have a written out activity, I suggest the theme: A World that Works for Everyone
