A View from the Back Pew Sessions Included 1. The Sound of Silence 2. This guide includes teaching procedures and reproducible resource pages. Intersection combines active, creative learning approaches with quality Bible study. Session One explores the importance of silence for quiet moments of reflection.
Some churches plan for times of meaningful silence during the worship hour.
Free from cluttering words and without musical distractions, worshippers can devote a small portion of time to focusing on God and God's presence in their lives. Elijah experienced God in silence, although, like many of us, he looked for God everywhere else first. In this session, you and the teenagers in your group will consider the value and the possibility of worshipping in silence. Session Two considers the role of youth during the worship service. Many youth leaders, unfortunately, feel like getting their young people to be attentive in worship is a difficult task.
