Engaging Children in Faith
Dave Bosma
Our services on Sunday celebrated children. Dave, along with, JC, Sharon & Suzy from our RCC whanau, shared insights on engaging children in faith illustrated by stories from their experience being with kids. Dave encouraged us to work on bringing out the best in ourselves and the value of relationships between children and adults in supporting each other in our faith.
Life Group questions
Engaging Children in Faith
There are no Life Groups meeting this week due to leaders being at Life Group Leaders meeting.
Reflection Questions:
1. Dave talked about research that found that teenagers who had a mature faith had relationship with 5 adults in their life. Think back on your own faith journey and the people in your life who may have played a part in shaping your faith. How did you embrace the things that helped? How did you handle those that hindered?
2. Read 1 Peter 3:15. Would you be able to give an answer to someone who asked you about your faith & beliefs?
3. Are you able to tell the gospel story? What do you think are the key points?
4. What steps can you take to help you be more comfortable sharing about your faith?
5. Who are children in your life who you can be praying for an opportunity to share with?
