4. Writing your own session…YouthMinistryNutsandBoltsDay
What is the aim of your session?
Example:
A group working through the Kleer series
Aims could be to get young people thinking
about their senses and to think about things
unseen and tie this into God.

5. Writing your own session…YouthMinistryNutsandBoltsDay
Is there a bible verse of two that fit?
Example:
2 Corinthians 4:18 (focusing on the things
unseen)
Hebrews 11:1 (knowing that things
unseen are real)

Example:
•Questions from video
•A game involving senses (perhaps 2)
