Invitation to join youth group discussion

High School students are welcome to attend the First Congregational Church High School Discussion Group. The discussion topics will focus on themes that youth have identified as important to them. During September and October, on Sunday mornings, our youth leader will be hosting discussions on how Christianity compares to other religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam with a possibility of attending a service of one of the religions we study. In a world that sometimes feels deeply divided by our religious beliefs, we’ll focus on understanding and gaining tolerance and respect of non-Christian beliefs.

Throughout the rest of the year, we will discuss other topics the youth requested including: Race & Ethnicity - Living in a Diverse World, The Realities of World Hunger, The Environment Today, and Relaxing and Refocusing in Stressful Times – Mindfulness Techniques. Any youth interested in joining other High School kids in these discussions are welcome to attend. Middle School discussions and will focus on historical peace heroes. Discussions are held 15 minutes into the 10 a.m. Sunday Worship service in the Amy Spollett youth room & Church Library at First Congregational Church 121 West Foster Street.
