We're using Upper Room Book's "The WAY of PILGRIMAGE: An Adventure in Spiritual Formation for the Next Generation" as our guidebook for this journey. You can read more about it at http://www.thewayofpilgrimage.org/. This is a series of 5 units geared to senior high school and college freshmen youth.
Generally, it guides them in developing a series of... I'll call them "life skills" for being a lifelong christian pilgrim. Units include...
CHOOSING PILGRIMAGE
THE BIBLE: Pilgrimage Travel Guide
PRAYER: Heart of the Pilgrimage
COMPANIONS on the PILGRIMAGE
STEPPING into the WORLD
It centers around the essential skill of daily Bible reading and reflection, and through our classes, adds in discussion, various spiritual practices (meditation, prayer forms, etc.) and time to reflect on what all this means in our daily lives. We're adding a healthy dose of christian service to others that has become an ususual theme of our group over the past 3 years.
Finally, the series is supported by a great Leader's Guide and a DVD with a series of videos to support each section.
