Youth Ministry Resources
I am a youth leader at my local church, so I sometimes create resources to use there. Recently I created and ran a Murder Mystery evening for the youth group (they loved it!). I am now offering it on Gumtree as a downloadable print-and-play resource pack as it's created and tailored specifically for 12-17 year olds, so ideal if you work with that age range and want something fun to do that fosters team building and social bonding etc.
Prayer and Fasting Schedule
I have created a public calendar you can add to your phones or other devices that can help you remember to pray and/or fast. It follows a very basic liturgy of the hours structure (6am, 9am, noon, 3pm, 6pm) and a pattern of prayer of the ancient church: the Lord's Prayer three times a day (per the Didache), the Jesus Prayer on the additional hours, and to fast every Wednesday and Friday (per Jesus and the Didache).
I hope it will help and encourage you to pray more, and keep it quick and easy for our busy modern lives with a simple calendar notification on your phone as a prompt. Use the link below to sync the calendar with Gmail, or use the ICS download to import to any other calendar app! :)
