Watch Your Mouth: A Life Night on Speech and Profanity

Keywords: | | |

Goal of this Life Night:

The goal of this Life Night is to help the teens understand that their words are powerful and that we all need to watch what we say to one another. This night will also look at how our speech can affect other people in both a positive and a negative way. finally, this night will address how our speech can shape our Christian identity.

About this Life Night:

The Life Night begins with a fun competition to determine which teens are the best at reciting simple tongue twisters. The teaching will break open the power behind our words, and how what we say has an effect on our Christian identity. The teens will have a chance to discuss how culture has shaped the use of language, and then reflect on how their own use of language has affected others. The night will close with a time of prayer inviting Christ to be always on their minds, on their lips, and in their hearts.
