International Day of Children and Youth
Join us in celebrating on Sunday 27 April, or on another Sunday of your choice.
In a world full of distractions, the theme LOOK UP! encourages children and young people to lift their eyes – away from the things that pull them down or distract them – and focus upward on God and outward toward others.
With so many distractions, like screens, social media and the pressures of daily life, Psalm 121 reminds us to lift our eyes and hearts. We are not meant to journey through life alone. By looking up, we reconnect with our Creator and with the people around us.
This year the materials have been created by the Norway, Iceland and The Færoes Territory.
A team of talented and creative people under the leadership of Captain Thea Karlsdóttir Welander have created materials for all ages:
- a video clip with the theme song 'Look Up!'
- an instruction video for the theme song choreography
- devotions for different ages
- a meeting plan and sermon outline
- icebreakers, games and activities
- prayers for children and teenagers.
