Session Three(What you are hearing today!)
We will talk about
how we help
groups
experience the
work of the Holy
Spirit in the midst
of an event, and
how to connect
that event to their
daily lives…and
maybe even share
it with others!

Events are
opportunities for
young people to
disengage from
the world
around them so
they can fix their
eyes on Jesus
Christ.
Out of our
comfort zone,
we can see the
world and
ourselves from
Christ’s point of
view rather than
our own.

Hand-Holdingand
Finger-Pointing
Spiritual direction often is considered one of the practices of communion, since the ultimate objective is not to offer moral instruction or pastoral care. The goal of spiritual direction is reaching toward oneness with God by discerning God’s direction for our daily lives.”
-Godbearing Life, pp. 139-140
Hand-holding is ministry of presence…
Finger-pointing is ministry of direction.

Connecting Events and Experiences to Daily Life
“The entire
congregation makes a
difference in youth
ministry.” (p.
83, EYM)
“Of parents who report
that their faith is
extremely important in
their daily lives; only
8% of those parents’
teens report that faith
is not very or not
important in their
lives.” (p. 171, EYM)

Managing Your Group During Events
Some of these
tips will apply to
trips only, some
will apply to local
events as well.

ever get the crazy
idea that to make
children do better
, first you have to
make them feel
worse?”
-Jane Nelsen
