Week 6 Questions

2011-04-11T07:23:00.000-07:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Goodness, Faithfulness

Read this together: Acts 2:44-47, Hebrews 11:1-2 (have your Bible with you tonight!)
 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
 1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

Discuss:

1. What do you think “goodness” means? If someone has the fruit of the spirit of goodness, what would they do, say, etc.?
2. The Acts text above describes the early church. What do you think of the way they acted? Do you think any churches exist today that still work this way? Do you think our church looks like that? Why or why not? If not, what things could YOU do to make it more like the early church?
3. The Hebrews text is the start of many verses about faith. Open your Bibles and look at all the times in chapter 11 you see the phrase “by faith.” Read each of those instances and talk about why you think faith was needed in each situation.
4. Verses 1 and 2 of Hebrews 11 say that faith is being certain of what we hope for but cannot see. Based on this definition – what things do you have faith in?
5. This is our last week of mentoring. On the first week we talked about which fruits of the spirit would be most difficult for us and which the easiest. (go back to Galatians 5:22-23 if you can’t remember what they are) Have your answers changed from the first week? Which fruit(s) would you like to work on the most?

Meal this week (4-6)

The Annual Giving Team is serving Sloppy Joes this week! Come join us for dinner!

Week 5

2011-04-04T08:03:00.000-07:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Kindness, Gentleness

Read this together: Ephesians 4:1-6, 25-32. James 3:5-8
 1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”[d]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison

Discuss:
1. Have you ever heard the phrase “I’m looking out for number one”? What does it mean? Who is “number one” in this statement?
2. All the verses above have a lot to say about being nice to people. Our culture says that “nice guys finish last.” Do you agree or disagree with that statement?
3. How can you be nice to people without getting walked on? Is it possible?
4. Many of the verses about talk about how we talk to each other, but especially the verses from James. Take a minute and re-read the James verses. What sticks out to you?
5. James said that many big forest fires have started with only a small spark. Have you ever said something mean or untrue about someone and had it get out of control? When? What did you say? What happened? Were you able to fix it?
6. When you think of the word “gentle” what comes to mind?
7. Who or what do you think most commonly gets treated with gentleness? Why?
8. How hard is it to treat mean people kindly and gently? Why?

Tonight’s Theme: Patience, Self-control

Read this together: Psalm 37: 1-9
 1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

Discuss:
1. What things do you have a hard time being patient for? Why?
2. When you think about someone who you would classify as having a lot of patience – who comes to mind? What about them makes you think they are patient?
3. What does self-control mean to you? Do you think it means the same thing for each person? Why or why not?
4. In the verses above, the phrase “do not fret” is said three times. Why do you think it’s repeated so often?
5. Look at the things that happen each time the word fret is used – what do they all have in common?
6. What does the writer of the above psalm tell us to do instead of fret?
7. What things do you spend a lot of time “fretting” on? Why?
8. Pr Jim is going to talk about trust a bit tonight. What do you think patience and self-control have to do with trusting God?

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Joy, Peace

Read this together: Philippians 4:4-13 (NIV), Philippians 4:4-13 (MSG)
 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
 4-5Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! 6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. 8-9Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. 10-13 I'm glad in God, far happier than you would ever guess—happy that you're again showing such strong concern for me. Not that you ever quit praying and thinking about me. You just had no chance to show it. Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.

Discuss:
1. How do you define joy?
2. Is joy the same as happiness? Why or why not?
3. What things bring you joy?
4. When you think of peace – what comes to mind?
5. What things bring you peace?
6. In the verses about (from the NIV) what two things can you do that will bring you peace? What do you think of that?
7. Read verses 11 and 12 in the NIV version above. What do you think it looks like for you to be “content in all circumstances”?
8. The last verse (verse 13) in the Message version above says: “Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.” Do you live your life this way? What would it take for you to get there?

Tonight’s Theme: Love

Read this together: 1 John 4:12-21, Luke 10:25-37
• 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
• 25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Discuss:
1. How do you define “love?”
2. Are there different types of love?
a. What are some of them?
b. How are they different?
c. How are they similar?
3. Of the ways you listed above – which way (or ways) does God love you? Are there any ways that you don’t think God loves you?
4. What stuck out to you in the first reading? (re-read it if you need to)
5. What do you think of the verse “There is no fear in love”? What do you think that means? Do you agree with it?
6. One of the verses said “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar.” What do you think this means? According to this – are you a liar?
7. In the second reading – the expert in the law asked Jesus the question – “who is my neighbor?” If you were asked to define your neighbor – what would you say?
8. Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan to illustrate the point of loving our neighbor. If you had to illustrate loving your neighbor – how would you do it?

Week 6
Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Intellectual Wellness

Read this together: Mark 8:29-33, Philippians 2:5, James 3:13-18, Psalm 51:10
• But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ." Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him. He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
• Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus
• Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
• Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

1. Do you consider yourself smart? Why or why not?
2. What’s the difference between being smart and being intelligent?
3. What do you think it means to be “intellectually well?”
4. In the first reading above, Jesus tells Peter that he has in mind the things of “men” not the things of God. Paul gives us the same message in the third reading above. What does this mean? What are some differences between having a “Godly” mind and a “worldly” one?
5. Is it possible to change your mind? How?
6. How is your intellectual wellness important to your faith?

Lent Meal this week!

2010-03-15T07:13:00.003-07:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Relational Wellness

Read this together: 1 Thessalonians 2:6-12, Romans 12:1
• As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, 7but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. 8We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. 9Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
• Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

1. Who are the people you are closest to? Why are they in your inner circle?
2. Who are the people you would consider your “enemies?” Why would you choose to put them in that category?
3. What do you think it means to be “relationally well?”
4. In the first reading above, what are some characteristics of a good relationship (according to Paul)?

6. How can you change some relationships in your life to make them “well?”

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Emotional Wellness

Read this together: John 30-36, Acts 2: 42-47
• Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"
• They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.

1. What does it mean to be emotionally well?
2. In the first reading above, Jesus arrives after Lazarus has died. Why do you think Jesus weeps when he hears this news?
3. Jesus shows us that it’s ok to hurt and to weep, but a lot of times the world around us tells us we’re pansy if we cry. What was the difference for Jesus in this scenario than another one where he encounters death and doesn’t cry?
4. Do you have a place you can go or people you can go to where you can share your real feelings? Where, and who?
5. Who are your biggest fans? Who shares in your highs and lows and celebrates you for who you are?
6. Does the community described in the second reading above sound like something you’d like to be a part of? Do you have a community like this now?
7. How is your vocational wellness important to your faith?

Week 3

2010-03-01T10:33:00.000-08:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Vocational Wellness

Read this together: Luke 19:1-10
• Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.' “But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

1. What is the difference between a job and a vocation?
2. How do you know if you are vocationally “well?”
3. In the reading above, what were some of the things that made Zacchaeus vocationally unwell?
4. How did he become vocationally well?
5. There is a saying that says “your true vocation will be found where your passions and talents and the world’s needs intersect.” Take a few minutes and think about your greatest passions and the world’s greatest needs… where do those two things intersect for you? How can you turn that “vocation” into a job?
6. How is your vocational wellness important to your faith?

Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Tonight’s Theme: Physical Wellness

Read this together: Luke 17:11-19, Romans 12:1
• Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" 14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
• Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

1. When was the last time you were really sick? What happened?
2. What do you think it means to be “physically well?” Is it different from being sick? Why or why not?
3. Do you think you are “well” physically?
4. In the first reading above, what were some of the difference between the one healed leper versus the other nine? Why do you think Jesus makes such a big deal about this? What does it mean for us as we read it?
5. In the second reading, Paul asks us to give our bodies as “living sacrifices” to God… what do you think that means? What are some ways you can do this in your daily life?
6. How is your physical wellness important to your faith?

IMPORTANT!!!!
Prince of Peace is clearing out its Child Safety databases and starting fresh. ALL adults working one on one with students MUST be Child Safety trained, even if you have been trained in the past. Adults trained in the fall of 2009 do not need to be retrained.
Child Safety Training dates will be:
Wednesday, February 10 at 6:30pm in the Chapel
and
Sunday, February 7 at 10am in the CLC

ALL mentors MUST be Child Safety Trained in 2009-10 to participate!

Mentoring 2010 is almost here!

2010-02-01T12:25:00.001-08:00

I can't believe it's almost Lent already! Here is some basic information you'll need as we move into this church season.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday - February 17th, and continues through Easter Sunday - April 4th. Our mentoring program here at POP happens on Wednesday nights from the 17th of February through the 24th of March.
If you have never mentored before, or have been out of it for awhile, please plan on attending the Mentoring Meeting on Sunday, February 14th at 10am in the CLC.

Starting on February 17th, students and mentors may meet between 5:30 and 8pm for a minimum of 30 minutes. Please plan ahead with your mentor where and when you will meet them each week! We HIGHLY encourage mentors and students to attend the Lent Services together at 7pm in the Worship Center. We make these services a little more "youth-friendly" and experiential, and all of the mentor discussion questions are based on the topics covered in the Lent Services.
Each week students and mentors check-in TOGETHER at their "grade" table in the CLC and then go into the church somewhere and talk over the questions provided.
Our Lent Theme this year is "Wellness," and our topics will be about physical, relational, vocational, emotional and spiritual wellness. Discussion questions will be provided on this webpage each Monday. Questions will also be provided in printed form at check-in each week.
If either the student or mentor cannot make a week, you must make it up. Please contact Natalia for your makeup options.

Meal this week - and Mentoring Make up dates

2009-03-30T10:10:00.000-07:00

Week Six Questions

2009-03-30T10:09:00.000-07:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Read this together: John 6:30, Mark 8:22-25, 1 Corinthians 13:12

• So they asked him, what miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
• The came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
• Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

1. When you imagine what God looks like, what do you see?
2. Do you think God looks like anything? Why or why not?
3. In what ways has God appeared to people in the past? Why do you think God chose those ways to appear?
4. In the John verse above, the disciples are literally standing next to Jesus and yet they ask him to show them he is the son of God. Are you ever like that with Jesus?
5. Do you think it’s hard sometimes to believe in a God you can’t see? Why?
6. In the Corinthians verse above, Paul is talking about not being able to fully understand about God – do you agree with him? In the Mark verses, the blind man has to be healed twice in order to see clearly. Are you ok with not fully knowing all the answers (being half blind) right now?
7. What do you see when you look for God in the world? (Or - where do you see God in the world?) What do those things tell you about who God is?

Meal Tonight

2009-03-25T08:55:00.000-07:00

Tacos!!

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but Chipotle did NOT donate burritos this year, so we are having tacos. Come and eat and help support the youth mission trip!

Meal this week!

2009-03-23T09:15:00.001-07:00

The meal this week SHOULD be Chipotle. They've changed their donation policy and we're still waiting to hear if we qualify or not. :(
I'll update as I know more.
If we don't get Chipotle donated this year, we'll find a GREAT alternative.

Week Five Questions

2009-03-23T09:14:00.000-07:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Read this together: Ephesians 5:1-2, 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, John 12:1-8
• Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
• For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men being sent from God.
• Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured in on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a month’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. “Leave her alone” Jesus replied “It was intended, that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”

1. Are there any smells that you smell and immediately you are transported somewhere else? What are they? What are you reminded of when you smell it?
2. Do you think God has a smell? Why or why not?
3. What sort of smells do you associate with God?
4. What are some things that you think “smell good” to God? Do you do any of them?
5. Merriam Webster says anointing is “to apply oil to as a sacred rite especially for consecration” (consecration means to make something holy) What’s the significance to being anointed for God?

Meal this week!

2009-03-18T06:53:00.002-07:00

The meal this week is Goulash. It will be provided and served by your church council! Come join us for dinner at 5:30pm-6:30pm.

Week Four Questions

2009-03-18T06:53:00.001-07:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Read this together: Psalm 34:8, Matthew 5:13, 1 Peter 2:1-3
• Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
• You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be trampled on by men.
• Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

1. What are some of your favorite tastes? (flavors, foods, etc) What are some of your least favorite? Why?
2. When something has no flavor, we call it bland … do you think this applies to your faith too? Why or why not? What is a “bland” faith like? What is a flavorful faith look like?
3. What does it mean to take on the flavor of God?
4. What do you think it means to “lose saltiness” in the scripture above? How can you tell if you are salty or not?
5. “You are what you eat” … does this old proverb take on new meaning when you apply it to Holy Communion? How?
6. What are some ways you taste God outside of Holy Communion?
7. What are some new ways you can taste God this week?

Child Safety Training This Week!!

2009-03-09T08:02:00.000-07:00

Week Three Questions

2009-03-09T07:58:00.000-07:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Read this together: James 1:23-25, Isaiah 55:10-11, Ephesians 4:29
• Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it – he will be blessed in what he does.
• As the rain and the snow come down from heaven and no not return to it without watering the earth… so is my word that goes out of my mouth: It will not return to me empty
• Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

1. What is the difference between listening and hearing? How do we hear God? How do we listen for God?
2. What are the different ways that God speaks to us?
3. Sometimes in scripture God comes in thunder or a loud noise, and sometimes God comes in a small whisper. How can you tell when you’re hearing God and when you’re not?
4. Does God speak through other people? Why or why not?
5. Has God ever spoken to you? How did you know it was God?
6. Do you ever think about the words you use and how God might be using the words you speak to talk to others? If yes, how do you think God is using you? If no, do you think God uses your words and how might it change the way you speak to others?
7. What are some thoughts you have about the verses above? What do they tell you about God? What do they tell you about hearing, listening and speaking?
8. What are some ways you can practice listening, hearing and speaking to and for God this week?

Meal this week

2009-03-02T06:37:00.000-08:00

Week Two Questions

2009-03-02T06:36:00.000-08:00

Mentors and Mentees:
Start your meeting together with prayers and share your highs and lows of the past week!

Read this together: Matthew 9:20-22, Matthew 14:35-36, John 13:3-6, 14-17
• Just then, a woman who had been subject to bleeding to twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “if I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.”
• When the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.
• Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered,” You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” “No” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” … (later Jesus says) “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”

1. Does touch make you uncomfortable? Why or why not?
2. What do you think about touch as a way to experience God?
3. Have you ever been healed, comforted, or felt God through touch? How?
4. In the first two readings above, people were healed simply by touching Jesus – it wasn’t Jesus touching them, but them touching Jesus. What do you think about that? (weird, impossible, cool, etc…) Do you think it’s possible for you to touch Jesus?
5. In the final reading, Peter doesn’t want Jesus to touch his feet – but Jesus does anyway… what does Peter learn from Jesus? What does Jesus teach us in his willingness to wash Peter’s feet (a servant’s task)?
6. How can you use touch to help others experience God?

Mentoring 101

2009-02-22T07:36:00.000-08:00

Hey mentors!

Here are the notes from the Mentoring Meeting.

Mentoring 101

Why?

We mentor here at POP for one simple reason: to give students one more adult in their lives that they can talk to, trust and by whom to be influenced.
Mentoring is a chance to do something different during the more reflective season of Lent, but the focus is always on relationships.

Who?

AAA adults!

Authentic
Available
Affirming

What?

This Lent we’re studying the 5 Senses of Lent. We’re taking a week to introduce the series, and then we’ll spend the next five focusing on one sense a week. It’s going to be really interesting, and a really great way to reflect on how we experience God, and how we can experience God more fully – with all our senses.
All Mentors need to be Child Safety Trained through Prince of Peace. If you have not been background checked or trained, please sign your name on the sheet and Lynell will contact you with training dates.

If you are not child safety trained, you may still mentor, but you must meet with your mentor in the welcome center, the CLC, or the youth room.

All mentors are mandatory reporters. If your mentee tells you something that you think is reportable, you must report it to Natalia.

Where?

Always meet at Prince of Peace. NO exceptions.

When?

Wednesdays, anytime from 5:30-8:00pm. If you need to meet on another day, please talk to me so I can make sure to have questions and the check-in available for you.

Places to get more information:

Hi mentors!

If you are reading this, then congratulations - one of our junior high students has asked you to be a mentor for the season of Lent! Our mentoring program here at Prince of Peace is another way we try to connect adults and students as we all walk on the Journey of Faith.
Some basic notes about mentoring:

Coordinate meeting time and location ahead of your first meeting
Consider eating a meal together at least once during Lent if you can.
Mentors meet one on one with students each week for about 30-45 minutes.
Before meeting, sign in at the students grade table in the CLC
Questions will be provided online each Monday, and hard copies will be available at each check in table.
Please try to attend the 7pm Lent Services together if possible.
Make up dates will be during Holy week, but extended time (meeting for and hour or 90 minutes) counts as well.

Our Lenten theme this year is "The Five Senses of Lent" ... questions and services will be based on this theme. Please take note of the dates below and get them on your calendars as soon as possible!

February 19th - Mentor Training, 6:30 PM in the CLC. This is not required for returning mentors, but new mentors are strongly encouraged to attend.
February 25th - Ash Wednesday, Mentoring Week 1
March 4 - Mentoring Week 2
