Walk with me and work with me! National Junior High Sunday 2024 resources are online

By Becky Ullom Naugle

“God of light burdens and easy yokes,
Help us to follow you, here and now into the adventure of discipleship.
When we are weary, give us rest.
When we are reluctant, urge us on.
When we think the work is too hard or too boring or too lonely,
bring us friends who will work alongside us.
Help us to be gentle and humble of heart, like you.”
–A prayer from the Bible study offered as one of the resources for National Junior High Sunday 2024, written by Dana Cassell

Are you ready to support the junior high youth in your congregation in planning and leading worship for National Junior High Sunday? Many congregations will observe National Junior High Sunday on Nov. 3, but encouraging junior high youth to step into worship leadership is more important than the particular Sunday. Work it into your congregation’s worship schedule sometime this fall.

The theme for this year is “Walk with Me and Work with Me” from Matthew 11:29-30.

The following worship resources, representing a wide variety of Brethren voices, are available for download at www.brethren.org/yya/jr-high-resources:
–Creative worship ideas
–Bulletin insert–prayerful coloring sheet
–Call to worship
–Prayers
–Invocation

–Offertory prayer
–Bible study

–Benediction

If you have pictures, reflections, or recordings of your congregation’s celebration of National Junior High Sunday, please send them to Becky Ullom Naugle, director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries for the Church of the Brethren, at bullomnaugle@brethren.org.
