Life Night

The Drop Zone: Our Fall from Grace

Keywords:

*Update: We want to let everyone know we made a big mistake in this recent Life Night. An awesome youth minister informed us recently that a media suggestion in this Life Night included a big expletive toward the end of the video. We try really hard not to include media that would in any way go against our faith, but in this instance we didn’t look hard enough. The problem video is “You Tube: Skydiving Fun and Games – Cool Footage.” Please accept our deepest apologies. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us at 480-820-7001 or email Katie Heller. -The Life Teen Staff

Goal:

The goal of this Life Night is to lay a foundation for the semester. This night will introduce the fall of man and the consequences of Original Sin. This night will also give the teens an opportunity to prayerfully examine how sin affects their everyday lives and their need for God’s love.

About this Night:

This Life Night is the first in the Paschal mystery semester. The night starts with an intense community-building competition to keep a balloon in the air. The game leads into a teaching that focuses on the fall of man and how the sin of Adam and eve have had consequences on all mankind. After a time of small group discussion in the Break, the teens will prayerfully offer a person, thing, situation or action that is keeping them from fully entering into a relationship with Christ. The Life Night will end with a challenge to dive into the Paschal mystery semester.
