Middle School Youth (grades 6—8)

Classes will be a bit less structured than for younger children. There will be a balance between Bible study and worship.  The worship will focus on puppets, drama, multimedia or dance, but we will attempt to accommodate the needs, interests and talents of the individual.

High School (grades 9—12)

Our high school programming will emphasize the various ways we worship that include the arts such as drama, multimedia, and dance. Bible study will consider the background scriptures for the particular “art” that is used. As with the middle school, we will design the program around each high school student’s needs, interests and talents.  High school youth may also elect an adult class.

The Arts

Youth and Adults participating is Wednesday Night ALIVE may choose to participate in a class based on what we are calling the “arts.”   This can include brainstorming sessions that lead to creating materials or using previously designed materials. Again, the interests of the individuals are considered. The end result will be used to enhance a worship service. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
 

Puppets

Scripture or songs may by acted out by puppets. They can also be used to tell a story for a children’s message.

YOUthtube

You can help create videos that are used in worship services. They can be used to show drama that augment the worship experience or to promote church events.

Drama

Drama can serve many functions during worship that can enhance the worship experience. One use is to connect real life events with Scripture or the sermon. 

Liturgical Dance.

This is available to those who have some experience in dance. 

Multimedia

Multimedia workshops can mean creation of slides used during worship and also production of videos that can be used.  It can also be coordinated with other arts to enhance dramas, puppet shows or dance.  The multimedia program will be designed around needs and interest of participants.
