The Gospel Journey

The word gospel means the truth. Our Minister of Youth, Casey Joyce, started our youth group on, The Gospel Journey. This is a video series that allows the youth (in this series ) to encounter some possible new thoughts and ideas about God. The scenes featured on this video aren't staged. There is an atheist, a minister's kid, an agnostic, a Wiccan, an Episcopalian, a Presbyterian, and a city girl. They are given the opportunity to interact with Greg, the minister, who is leading them during discussion sessions. Then they have a question and answer period with him to discuss their thoughts and ideas they had about what was covered. We began viewing it March 7th and concluded the 6th session on April 4th. Casey has not allowed us to view the final video session yet, we get to see it on June 13th. We now have ask the youth to invite their friends to come and take this journey...no "churchie stuff." We have some snacks, watch the video, break into very small discussion groups, have a short large session, pray, and go home. Pray that God will use this time to touch the hearts of their friends, but also lead our youth toward a more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.
