Overview

These 20 prayer services are written specifically for today's Christian teenagers. The services focus on the presence of God in the lives of young people, and deal with faith in light of the everyday events and issues common to most adolescents. The prayer services take shape around themes common to youth today - peer pressure, self-image, sexuality, athletics, violence and drug abuse among others. They address these concerns in a way that emphasizes the love God has for each of us, and focuses on how a Christian lifestyle can help young people better cope with the demands placed on them today. Each service has two parts. The first contains preparation material to help the prayer leader and participants make ready for the service, as well as share their thoughts and experiences on the topic of the service. The second section contains the actual prayer celebration. This includes: a focus prayer to help the group concentrate on the theme of the service; a reflection which places the theme within the context of scripture; a scripture reading; quiet time for young people to reflect on God's Word; and response that enables participants to express faith-filled intimacy with God. This book can be used during school assemblies, during Confirmation retreats, in family settings, for youth ministry activities or to add a prayer dimension at any time when teens gather. The services can be adapted to particular needs, and should prove useful for years.
