This Sunday, we watched the fifth installment of the Alpha Youth Series titled: Why and How Do I Pray?. This video open up some good discussion prettying to the subject of prayer and how it takes shape in our daily life. We talked about praying in suffering, praying in thanksgiving, and praying in petition. We also shared stories of how prayers have been answered in our own lives, and how we responded to those answers. We discussed how prayer changes us and our attitudes towards people and situations.

The three questions asked in this session were:

1. If you could be any superhero, who would you be?
2. Why do you think people don't always get what they pray for?
3. Have you ever tried praying? What did you pray for? What happened? 

This Sunday we watched the second installment in the Alpha Youth series. We talked about how a man that lived two thousand years ago could still be relevant today. We also talked about why Jesus is still talked about, worshiped, and followed today.

​The three questions that were asked were:

• Have you ever had an encounter with a celebrity?
• Why do you think Jesus is so famous?
• What about Jesus' life stands out to you?

Dear Parents,

This Sunday we started our summer series Alpha Youth. Alpha Youth is a Christian video series designed to facilitate discussion about God, Faith, and Christianity.

We began the first session with a short preface describing the importance of knowing, not only what you believe, but also why you believe it. We also highlighted the fact that this series is a great resource to use when sharing your faith.

The video is broken down into three different sections. Each section consists of a short video that presents thoughts and ideas about God and a question that follows. We then pause the video and discuss the question as a class. 

These were the three questions that were asked in Session 1: Life. Is this it?:

• If you only had 24 hours left to live, what would you do? 
• Why do you think people find it awkward to talk about their religious beliefs?
• Assuming God is real; if you could ask God one question, what would you ask? 

Have a blessed week!
