This three-session unit from the Connect series will help middle school youth explore the reasons why people go or don't go to church, as well as the reasons some parents may insist on church participation. It will help youth recognize that they, as Christians, have a responsibility to be evangelists to those they meet.
Session 1: Why Don't My Friends Go To Church
Session 2: Why Do I Have To Go To Church If My Friends Don't Have To Go
Session 3: How Can I Encourage My Friends To Come To Church With Me?
