LUNCHTIME PROGRAMS

Lunchtime programs are run in schools once a week as an extension to other YFC programs (particularly AusLife) for those students who have been encouraged and want more!

The overall aim is to give young people a whole picture of the Kingdom of God and for them to discover its relevance for their own life.

Topics covered include:

• Belonging
• Value of self
• Relationships
• Trust
• Communication
• Spirituality
• Servanthood
• Redemption/reconciliation

Each topic is worked through over a four week period with a specific aim for each week:

• Fun
• Hanging Out
• Exploring Life
• Belief
