Sunday, May 7, 2023

The readings for the Fifth Sunday of Easter for year A tell us that we are called to follow Jesus and serve him, even though we don’t know where that might lead us. The first reading (Acts 6:1-7) tells how the first deacons were chosen. The psalm (Psalm 33:1-2, 4-5, 18-19) reminds us that God “loves justice and right”. In the second reading (1 Peter 2:4-9) Peter calls the people to be “a holy priesthood”. And in the gospel (John 14:1-12) Jesus tells us to have faith in him.

We can consider how we might serve the Lord and what our vocation might be. Here are some ideas and resources:

Medusa (Youth Group Game)
Medusa is a game for a group of about 8 or more teenagers. It is based on the Greek legend of Medusa. Looking at her caused people to turn to stone.
Make a Prayer Rock (VBS or Youth Ministry Activity)
A prayer rock is a simple way to remember to pray each day. Parents can lay them on their children's pillows so they remember to pray. Teens can keep them in their backpacks or lockers. Anyone can put them on a desk or carry a small one in a pocket or purse.
