Media - Youth Ministry

The most effective way of getting the Good News to teens - who see a movie a week - is through that very medium! You can use the powerful images of movies and music to illustrate Scripture lessons and communicate the message of Jesus in a contemporary way. You get step-by-step directions, scriptural and doctrinal references, discussion ideas, and start/stop points.

Reaching Teens Through Film, Volume 11
Jesus in Modern Media Series
By Michael Scully, OFM Cap.,
with Patrick J. Donovan

Connecting Scripture, Christian themes, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church with teens' favorite films invites them to lively discussion of topics such as caring for others, courage, friendship, integrity, and maturity.

For each film there are three or four sessions, adaptable to your time frame, whether you meet five times a week or once a month. The easy-to-follow format for each session provides:

•	Start and stop points for the film
•	References to the Catechism of the Catholic Church
•	Christian themes
•	Insightful questions to guide discussion

PLUS "SHORT TAKES" - New in Volumes 10 and 11, "Short Takes" suggest ways to use clips from the featured films to create brief, attention-getting lessons to open youth gatherings, introduce prayer experiences, and stimulate discussion.

PLUS REPRODUCIBLES - "Acting It Out" activities reinforce discussion. "Taking It Home" activities extend lessons into teens' daily lives.
