Youth Specialties

Jim Marian

Synopsis

This compilation of 12 creative services allows young people to encounter the presence of God through worship.

Description

Kids want to meet God, not just hear about God. Which is what worship is all about, isn't it? So Jim Marian, who's a pro at creating and conducting innovative worship services for kids, put together these dozen services that put teenagers in touch with the essence of worship -- meeting God. - Drama . . . - Video . . . - Prayers . . . - Scripture . . . - Symbolic activities - Readings -- choral, responsive, meditative . . . - Devotional thoughts -- and, of course, music: hymns, praise and worship songs, recordings of contemporary Christian musicians -- take your pick, whatever fits your group. Here are worship services for the Advent, Lenten, and Easter seasons, as well as services that explore the Trinity, communion, baptism, prayer, and more. Whatever the focus, these services steer kids into worshipping God in spirit and in truth -- services that, thanks to the variety of options, you can adapt to your own youth group's worshipping style (while at the same time stretching your kids just a bit into worshipping territory they may not have ventured into before). Whether you're a youth director, associate or senior minister, or worship committee member -- in Worship Services for Youth Groups you have 12 complete services that provoke kids (and you!) into not just thinking about God but, together as a group, meeting him.
