As usual we started with a welcome, rules and a preface.
I wanted to tackle the meaning of the cross with our church youth group, aged 12+, who are predominently not church-going children.
Below is an outline for a talk which worked really well for us as the framework for an evening around a campfire - taking the group through from an easy introduction to symbols and logos through to a biblical presentation of the meaning of the cross.
We finished the evening with a challenge to the children; to make them think more carefully about the cross and what it means to them. You may want to change this to better suit the type of group you have, and where they are on their spiritual journeys.

For leaders in children's and youth work, it is certainly one of the most beautiful tasks to promote and use the gifts that God as Creator has given to each person. It is truly glorious to see how the Lord has placed them in individual human lives and very regrettable how much lies fallow that could actually be used for the good of all.
Poured gel candles are easy to make and look soooo great!
How do we deal with change in our lives?
Life is in constant flux, we cannot change. Since the fall of man, we have been subject to transience. The name Abel (Genesis 4:2) means "transience"; the name of his brother Cain (Genesis 4:12-16) means "chased, hurried"; the land of Nod in verse 16 means "land of restless living".

Our emphasis will be on the fact that no matter what difficulties we get into, God will not abandon us and he will always be with us.
