April is our last full month of Youth Group and we’re taking the opportunity to explore God’s heart for justice. What exactly does that mean? Here’s how we’re going to put it to our middle schoolers in week 1: “Justice means something is right, fair, or equal. When we talk about justice, we’re talking about moving toward a world where things are better for everyone. We’re talking about working against injustice, which is when things are unfair, unequal, or not right in the world.”

Much of what we’re covering this month will overlap with the Matthew 25 vision, a call for members and ministries of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to be actively engaged in their communities by working toward building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism, and eradicating systemic poverty. You can read more about Matthew 25 here.

Parents: we want to help you continue the conversation at home! Check out these parent cues that give more details on what we’re teaching and ideas to help you connect over justice: middle school & high school.
