April: Earth Wisdom

April’s Earth Wisdom theme was a good one for YFM programming and projects! Sandi, Hannah, Ann, Carolyn and I engaged the youth through discussions, readings, videos, and projects to consider the earth and nature in new ways.

For example, this past week, large pine cones were turned into bird feeders with suet and peanut butter (which we had tested the prior week and found it was a “fan favorite”). Sandi and Hannah brought this project upstairs during fellowship as an all-ages activity – and we had several grownups join in and make bird feeders to take home.

May: Prayer & Meditation

Prayer and Meditation is the May theme. We’re planning youth-friendly sessions to try different forms of affirmative prayer and easy-access meditation techniques with the idea they can try these out during the following week and let us know what they experience.

Thanks very much,
Charlie
