MAY 10, 2020 - CGYOUTH

Hey Fam!

CG Youth Ministry hopes to equip and support YOU the Family to effectively engage and disciple your child at home in the day to day life. YOU will be the most significant influence of your child’s development. We hope to come alongside and help you maximize that time by being confident and prepared. Below, you will find some guiding thoughts on what your child has been learning from CG Youth Ministries and how to engage. You will also find resources to contemplate how you can create a discipleship atmosphere in your home and BE the church as a family in your neighborhoods and communities.   

CG YOUTH GATHERINGS

Things can seem a little crazy outside and maybe even crazier inside in isolation. If you are an introvert, you probably love it. If you are an extrovert, I feel ya. Either way, isolation can be a difficult thing to navigate. Regardless, even in difficult times, there are amazing opportunities.

Let’s talk about it: Discussing Isolation with your Youth

Season:

KNOWN - Understanding our Identity in Christ

DO: 

• Identity Prayer with your kids (If they haven’t already)

• Daily Examen Bookmarks (as a daily practice this week)

• Purpose Exercise
  
  

This Week 

Week 2 - He Knows Your Identity

Ask:

• What makes up your identity? List as many things as you possibly can think of that makes up who you are today. What has influenced the person you are? 

• What are things that make you and others feel valuable? List as many things as you can think of. Try to come up with at least 10-15 items.

• Using the list you just created, which items fall under the category of Position? Appearance? Wealth? Skills? 

• What one thing in your life, one thing about you, if taken away, would make you feel less valuable?

• What is one thing that you feel would make you feel more valuable if you gained it?

Read: Psalm 139:5-12

DISCUSS:

• Do we create our identity, or does God?

• What feeds you? Think of all the voices, people, social platforms, teams, church, God, family, etc that you allow your eyes and ears to see and listen to. Of all of those things, if something positive or negative was said about you, which one would impact you the most? 

• What’s the good in finding our worth and identity in Christ alone? 

• Decide which things encourage your identity in Christ and which ones take you away from finding your worth and identity in Christ.

WORSHIP:

You Know Me - Bethel
