Junior High Youth Group 2009-2010

In the 2009-2010 Religious Education school year we will be focusing on the curriculum called Riddle and Mystery.

Riddle and Mystery

A curriculum about “the big questions” must begin with an inquiry: How often do you find yourself asking big questions? Write your answer lightly, with pencil, so you can change it with ease. The frequency of your changes may increase as you move through Riddle and Mystery.

Even without the stimulus of reading this curriculum, it may be every day that you ask what to do with your life. Maybe even more often you wonder whether life is fair—though you already know the answer is “no.” Perhaps every hour, in some way or other, you ponder whether something is right or wrong.

If even adults are uncertain about such matters, how must our youth feel? Sure of themselves sometimes, we may guess, and sometimes totally lost. Yet, speaking for youth is not our purpose with Riddle and Mystery. Assisting them in their search for understanding is.
