ROCK 2019 YOUTH GROUP DEVOTIONS
The following devotions are suggested for use with your youth group following each of the 4 main sessions at ROCK 2019. Please feel free to change for use with your group as you see fit.
It is suggested that for each devotions session with your group you meet at a pre-arranged time and place where there will be ample time for all your youth to participate and an atmosphere conducive to discussion and time of prayer.
For larger youth groups, it is recommended that you break up into small groups, each with adult leadership. The adults should be selected ahead of time and have time to go over the questions with the youth group leader. It is important to encourage the youth to share and reflect freely. Remember we are all on a “journey” and as we are all at different points in that process there is no single “right” response but we are trying to encourage them to examine their experience and share with their peers during the process.
The scripture for the weekend is Matthew 16:18 - Upon this ROCK, I will build my church.
