Jesus weeps with His friends.
In John 11, youth see that He understands pain and does not turn away. This lesson offers space to share worries, grow in compassion, and find hope. Even in sorrow, God brings new life. ✝️💧🌿

Yardwork for the elderly is a practical way for youth to live out their faith 🙏
Tasks like raking leaves or clearing debris may seem small, but they make a real difference. Seniors feel supported and respected, while young people grow in patience and compassion.
This kind of service shows that loving our neighbor means giving time, effort, and attention. Faith becomes visible through action ✝️
God Lights Our Way is the heart of a GLOW night 🙏
Through glow games, music, and shared laughter, youth are reminded that faith is meant to shine. Light stands out in darkness, just as love and kindness should stand out in daily life.
This night builds community and helps teens feel supported, seen, and guided by God as they learn to carry His light into the world ✝️

Lent calls us to prayer, honesty, and small acts of sacrifice. Could You Give It Up? helps young people explore these ideas through a simple group game 🙏
As players decide what they could give up, they learn about self-control and attachment. The activity encourages reflection without pressure and keeps the focus on growth rather than winning.
It is a meaningful way to help youth prepare their hearts for Easter ✝️
