Children & Youth
Consider together what you have explored, what that means for each of you and how it might influence your daily lives. (10 mins)
Activities marked with an asterisk 
next to the activity title are in addition to the resources in the Ready to go sessions. Suggested timings for these activities are also shown. NB The inclusion of additional activities varies from week to week.
FOR CHILDREN
- We have good news to share but sometimes it isn’t easy. God says, ‘Do not be afraid’. Stand the children in two rows, A and B, facing each other, making sure there is a good, large step-length between them. Ask row A to take a big step towards their partner and, as they do, they all say ‘Do not be afraid’. Then tell the partner something they want to say about God this week. Then step back and repeat with the other person stepping forward.

Encourage the children to put their faith into action
Jesus said, do not be afraid. Remember this if you have chance to speak out about your faith this week. W A

Sing
To the tune: London's burning
My God loves me, my God loves me,
and I’m part of God’s story.
Good news, good news!
Let’s tell others, let’s tell others!
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
- Ask the young people to each write down three nouns that describe who they are. Then they should rank them in order of importance. Does ‘Christian’ appear in the list?
- Ask: What nouns might others use to describe you? Can you think of ways in which you might be able to communicate your story more effectively? Would you worry about the consequences if you did?
