One of the main things I have to do start planning the sessions. Over the past year or so we have been using "Urban Saints - Energize" online resources for our jGYM sessions. Energize is a fully comprehensive web-based resource that gives you access to huge catalogue of engaging, dynamic, Biblical material for ages 3 - 18. It gives you syllabuses that contain a varied number of themed sessions. Each session give several suggestions for games, discussion questions, bible study and prayer responses. You can pick and choose from these and create PDFs of the session and even share it with your other leaders via email.I have found it a very useful, dynamic and accessible resource and it's worth the subscription fee.
This term we are doing a 12 week course on Christian Character for 11-14's. The themes for the sessions are based on characteristics of walking with the Spirit that St Paul gave in the letter to the Galatians:
- trust
- love
- joy
- peace
- patience
- kindness
- goodness
- faithfulness
- gentleness
- self-control
- thankfulness
- attitude
We are really looking forward to our first session (Friday 13th Sep) that will be looking at our trust in others and how we can trust in God.
