Designed for youth in grades three through eight, the goal of Y4Life, Jr. is to help youth recognize their inherent value in Christ and equip them to be Gospel-motivated voices 4 Life. Resources with the Y4Life, Jr. logo will equip elementary and middle school youth to locate their identity in Christ, embrace the life-affirming gifts God provides through church and family, and begin engaging in healthy discussions about life issues.
Dish and Discuss is designed to engage youth and their families in conversations about life-issues. Use this resources to start life-affirming discussions around the dinner table, in the classroom, on road trips, or any time you want to start a meaningful conversation with your pre-teen! Conversation starters are divided into the four areas Y4Life youth are encouraged to participate in: education, worship, service, and celebration. Download the Dish and Discuss activity here.
Life Notes 4 Church are designed for pre-confirmation note taking in church. As youth participate in the Divine Service, they are invited to listen for life issues mentioned in the Old Testament, Epistle, and Gospel readings and discover how God addresses those issues and upholds life. Space for notes, doodles, and an area to identify life issues are included. Download Life Notes 4 Church here and begin helping your child listen for life issues this Sunday!
