This Edge night will deal with the desire to be popular. The middle school youth will bring very different experiences into this night and it is important to address them all. Some are popular, some desperately desire to be popular and are willing to go to any length to get there, some are not popular and don’t care to be so (or at least say they don’t care). The goal of this Edge Night is to help all middle school youth embrace who God has created them to be and recognize that popularity does not make us happy; life in Christ does. This night starts with a small group discussion on why popularity is so important in middle school. The Proclaim is a personal testimony along with a teaching on this topic. Small groups will then have the opportunity to create a puppet show on the pitfalls of popularity. The puppet show will lead into a discussion on popularity and how it affects our lives. Finally, this night will end with a reflection on Jesus’ perspective on popularity and time for the middle school youth to pray.
The goal of this Edge Night is to help the middle school youth understand that morality is not about following a set of rules, but rather it is a response to God’s call for us to be in a relationship with Him.
At this Edge Night, the middle school youth will explore the meaning of the book of Revelation and how it pertains to the Mass.
With this Edge Night, the middle school youth will learn about the greatest evangelist, St. Paul and his letters in the New Testament. St. Paul, born Saul Paul, was born a Roman citizen, but he was Jewish by family and religion. Saul could not understand why so many disciples were following Jesus Christ and so he persecuted those who wanted to follow Him. On the road to Damascus, Saul was struck blind and he heard the voice of Jesus ask, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” (Acts of the Apostles 9:4). After three days of being blind, Paul got up and gave his life to Christ. The story of St. Paul is an amazing transformation. However, God had to go to extremes to get his attention. Paul’s evangelization efforts led him to experience rejection, hardship, opposition, slander, shipwrecks, imprisonment and ultimately martyrdom. Throughout it all, Paul always preached with a spirit of encouragement. The environment and icebreaker break open the idea of how well traveled St. Paul was to spread the message of Jesus Christ.
The goal of this Edge Night is for the middle school youth to become familiar with the life of Christ as it is written in the four Gospels.
The goal of this Edge Night is for the middle school youth will identify the covenants in the Old Testament that God made with His people (Noah, Abraham, Moses and David) and what it means to be a part of His family.
The goal of this Edge Night is that the middle school youth will be introduced to the New Testament as a fulfillment of the Old Testament. The youth will identify the books and writings in the New Testament as well.
The goal of this Edge Night is that the youth will understand that sin entered the world because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve, but from the very beginning God had a plan of salvation to restore our relationship. “Why do bad things happen to good people?” The truth is, because of Original Sin, sin and death have entered the world. As we read in Genesis 1 & 2, God created us to be in perfect union with Him. God gave Adam and Eve everything in the Garden of Eden, but told them not to partake of “the tree of knowledge of good and evil.” God is omniscient and He alone can know what is good and evil. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree, it was a sign of disobedience and desire to decide what would be good or bad, thus turning away from God.
Tonight’s session will help the middle school youth explore Genesis 3 through the temptations they struggle with. As the middle school youth enter, they will be tempted to partake of the goodies around the room. Through the Proclaim and small group activities, they will discover that God knows what is best for them and He has a plan for each one of them.
The goal of this Edge night is to connect the middle school youth with the story of creation and the love of God. The middle school youth will also learn that man is the pinnacle of God’s creation.
