Description: As North Americans, commercialism pervades our lives. Commercials urge us to buy products we never knew existed, let alone, knew we needed. We are influenced by television at home, radio in the car, billboards along the roadside and flashin signs over the shopping malls. We have been trained since birth to expect, desire and buy the newest product. Each class and culture has its own understandings of what is necessity and what is luxury. Commercialism does not distinguish between these artificial barriers; instead, it manipulates cultureal differences to improve advertisements. Because of its all-pervasive nature, the best way to fully understand just how much this one concept controls our actions and our faith is to travel to a developing country or region in the United States. Since this is not always possible, a creative conversation is the next best thing.

Denominations

Description: The subject of denominations lies just beneath the surface of everyday church life. It does not come up often in conversation but it is something we need and want to know about. Most of your youth have friends who belong to other denominations. Many, fearing that revealing or talking about this mystery will interfere with the friendsship, rarely raise the issue. This may be good for maintaining friendships but it only serves to place more barriers between members of the "Body of Christ." So be brave and know that this is an important issue to talk about.
For this session you do not need to know all the denominations and every detail about each one.
