First Presbyterian Church of Lee's Summit has been
using a biblically-based character curriculum with the Senior High
students at a Wednesday night Bible study. About 20 students
attend. Rev Lyn Olson has created the program and leads the
discussion. So far, they have discussed the character traits of
humility, endurance, forgiveness and generosity, from a biblical
perspective, using Jesus as a model of love and character. "We
discussed 'obedience' during Holy Week, emphasizing Jesus' obedience all
the way to the cross. The kids really responded to the relevance
of Jesus' character and faith," says Lyn. "We'll continue the
theme of character throughout the summer with special events."
Good character begins with God. It is a natural
subject for the church to discuss. Consider a character-based
education curriculum and preaching series for your church.
