Discussion Guide for May 27, 2007

Get ready for San José
By Gordon Houser
Page 8

-What are the benefits of holding the convention, San José 2007, in California?

-How does this convention’s theme scripture (printed below) challenge your congregation? The broader church?

Ephesians 4:1-6- Unity in the Body of Christ
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.

The youth of the church
By Jacob Yordy
Page 16

-In what ways do you see youth “raring to go,” in terms of spirituality?

-Why should the church continue to prioritize the church-wide conventions for youth, as well as adults?
