Looking for ways to bring this Sunday’s Bible story, Jesus' Ministry Begins, into your home? Here are some simple ideas for the week ahead.

📖 Read pages 188–189 in The Peace Table: A Storybook Bible or Matthew 4:17–25. Jesus called Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John to follow him. What do you think it means to follow Jesus?

🙏 Pray a “help me” prayer this week. Express your needs to God each day, then be still and listen to God.

🐟 Play a fishing game. Cut fish shapes out of construction paper. Put a paper clip on the nose of each fish. Use magnets tied onto strings to “fish” for them.

As we come to the close of this year, the Shine Team gives thanks for the ways God has been at work through children, youth, leaders, and congregations. We step into the new year with hope, trusting God to continue guiding, teaching, and shaping us together.

“We'll tell the next generation all about the praise due to the Lord and his strength—the wondrous works God has done.” (Psalm 78:4b CEB)

May the year ahead be filled with curiosity, connection, and faith growing brighter each day.

Designed for High School Youth

High schoolers bring big questions, complex emotions, and a deep desire for belonging.

Reach is built with them in mind—offering interactive sessions that invite youth to engage faith thoughtfully, connect with peers, and grow in relationship with God.

This is faith formation that’s relevant, rooted, and responsive.

Looking for ways to bring this Sunday’s Bible story, Magi Come to Worship, into your home? Here are some simple ideas for the week ahead.

📖 Read pages 176–177 in The Peace Table: A Storybook Bible or Matthew 2:1–12. Go out and look at the stars. Imagine traveling at night following a star.

🙏 Pray prayers of praise for God’s gift of Jesus. At the end of your prayer each evening, turn on your outside lights or light a candle and put it near a window as a sign of welcome for visitors to your home.

🗣️ Sing the carol “We Three Kings.” Many versions of the song can be found on YouTube—here’s one option to use: https://youtu.be/c4IvTrKrk88?si=XZizm3o1X2CE_yw9

"Glory to God in heaven, and on earth peace among those whom God favors." (CEB)

On this Christmas Day, the Shine team sends warm greetings to you and your faith community. As we celebrate the birth of Christ, we give thanks for the good news of great joy—God’s peace made known in the world through Jesus.

May this holy day be filled with wonder, gratitude, and renewed hope as you reflect on God’s love made present among us.

🎄 Merry Christmas from all of us at Shine.

On this final day of Advent, we reflect on the gift of love.

In 1 John 4:7–21, we are reminded that love begins with God—not as an idea, but as a gift made visible in Jesus Christ. “We love because God first loved us.” As Advent draws to a close, we pause to receive that love again and to carry it forward into the world.

May God’s perfect love cast out fear, draw us closer to one another, and shape the way we live and love beyond this season. Come, Lord Jesus.

Introducing Reach—a new, all-digital faith formation curriculum designed specifically for high school youth.

Reach invites young people to engage deeply with God, Scripture, one another, and their wider faith community through interactive six-week units. Each unit offers a flexible format that works equally well for Sunday school, midweek gatherings, or retreat settings, making it easy for leaders to adapt Reach to their context.

Whether youth are exploring a biblical story, engaging topics like peacemaking or creation care, or wrestling with real-life questions, Reach provides thoughtful guidance and interactive activities that foster honest conversation and meaningful reflection.

Because faith is formed in relationship, Reach includes FlexGen sessions—intergenerational gatherings where youth connect with children, young adults, and older generations to explore faith together. Optional weekly text messages help leaders stay connected with youth beyond the classroom.

Reach is a collaborative project of MennoMedia and Brethren Press, with tiered pricing based on group size. Two units will be available beginning January 2, 2026, with additional units releasing quarterly in 2026–27.

Available January 2, 2026:
• Sacred Rhythms: Living Faith in Daily Practice
• Whole People, Holy People: Faith and Mental Health
