The readings for Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year C are focused on faith. In the first reading (2 Kings 5:14-17) Naaman, a foreigner, believes and is healed. The psalm (Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4) sings of God’s saving power. In the second reading (2 Timothy 2:8-13) Paul reminds us that God is always faithful to us. In the gospel (Luke 17:5-10) Jesus heals ten lepers, and one returns to give him thanks.
Reflect on our own faith in God, our willingness to allow God to do things His way, and gratitude. Here are some ideas:
Walk the Plank is a game for Vacation Bible School or a youth ministry meeting. This will be difficult for younger children but it would be appropriate for middle school VBS or youth group. It has a problem solving and team building aspect to it which tweens and teens will enjoy.
Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?" Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."
