Is God for Real? Youth Social Media Treasure Hunt
Social Media Treasure Hunt for Youth (Adolescent/Teens) LEADER DIRECTIONS: This is a social media treasure hunt for middle age or teen age students perhaps for Confirmation or a Bible study for a youth group. After this treasure hunt and Bible readings a discussion could be held and prayer at the end of the session. This could be done as a group with a big screen for the entire group or have the kids bring their lap tops or Smart phones to do the project or perhaps if there are a few computers throughout the church have the kids get in small groups to work on their treasure hunt and verses and all come together to discuss the treasures that were found. Prizes could be awarded for all who complete the treasure hunt, one leader can be with each small group to lead discussions and help. Or the computers could be set up as stations that each youtube.com video can be viewed at and then move on, except kids may be waiting for the group ahead of them to finish in this case. Is God for real? Let’s Search for proof using Social media (Youtube.com and Google or Bible Gateway or other on-line Bible resources) and the Internet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQlZv29E4_0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmm-0-Rdxo8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVtNzONbaiU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSgYhrh9IVg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxdoJJhVsEA Now that these treasures are being discovered by you, let’s search in the Bible to back up some of these witnesses, places and discoveries. Using an online Bible or Google search find these scriptures. (If there are several in the group have each do one search and read it aloud to the group- Use NRSV or NIV versions or those that you feel would be most meaningful to adolescents or teens) Luke 2:1-21 Isaiah 53 Psalm 139:1-18 Genesis 1:2 Revelation 21:4 Acts 17:28 Jeremiah 31:3 1 John 3:1 Ephesians 3:20 Group discussion questions: Did anything in these videos or Bible verses strengthen or question your belief or faith? What struck you as the most intriguing images or thoughts that you noted in what was seen or heard today? What was thought provoking for you? Does this leave you with more questions? What are they? Prayer props: LEADER DIRECTIONS: To close the session have the kids say a prayer request, praise/ thanksgiving, in 3 words or less. Start with the leader saying “ I pray for---“ and each person in turn adds 3 words or less until they are back to the leader who ends the prayer with the Lord’s prayer. This will allow all to pray, yet these youth need only to think of 3 words or less, about what is on their heart and mind to pray about just then, and this will hopefully build confidence in group prayer, which is hard for most of us, especially adolescents as beginners in prayer in front of others.

Confirmation Ministry Binder
Confirmation in the Lutheran church is an intentional time of faith formation in the curriculum of the church resulting in the rite of affirming one's baptism. Through catechesis and Bible learning, service, worship, and relationship building, this is a family ministry of the church that nurtures the faith of our young people, normally around the Junior High school age. This binder is used by the student and family as a handbook throughout the confirmation time. If you choose to use this resource, note that the name of our church (St. Thomas/Holy Spirit Lutheran church or STHS) is used frequently. You will want to change the materials to reflect your local setting. There may also be a few location specific references. Feel free to update as needed. Binder cover and Table of Contents page are submitted separately under "Confirmation Ministry Binder Cover and Contents."

Youth Bible Rap: Daniel 3
This rap was written and performed by David Backus (Abednego), Paul Buckingham (Meshach) and Logan Brown (Shadrach), 3 senior high youth from St. Luke Lutheran Church in Richmond, Virginia in 2006. The youth were excited to put their creative writing to the test by adapting the story of King Nebuccadnezzar from Daniel 3 into a rap, which they later performed live and via this video. They performed the rap for the congregation at our youth talent show as well as other Virginia Synod events. This was the original rap - but they went on to write and adapt other Bible stories as well. This is a fun and interactive way to get youth engaging in Scripture! Lyrics are attached in a word document.
