Creating memories happens better when you engage in one or all five of our senses. An idea you can use…
Touch, Hearing
In Psalms, David used song and music to pray to God. Rhythm and tonal melodies are innate abilities within all of us, whether we think so or not. Music abilities are part of our natural souls’ connection with God. God created us with musical instincts to worship and pray to Him. David understood this very well.
How will you encourage teens to tap into their natural music abilities to pray? Prayer doesn't have to be traditional. Think about using new and different forms of prayer. Use drumming and tones. Have teens create rhythmic songs with drumming, and accompanying prayers. Simple objects you have sitting around can be used as drums for worship: various sized buckets, water bottles, tape measures, rulers, paper, sand paper, the bottoms of chairs, etc. Once your teens have written their prayers in small groups, have them share. Have everyone else join in on the prayer by drumming or humming along. God will surely be delighted.

Who is Brenda?
Brenda is a brave one. She stutters yet is a national speaker. She loves teaching so much she’s been a substitute teacher for over 20 years. She’s brave enough to enter any classroom at a middle school. She also simply loves teaching groups, whether they are teens or adults. You could say she was created for this, stuttering and all. She has been in youth ministry for 34 years and has no plans to “grow up” and be a real pastor. She bravely loves teenagers, especially that middle school age. She has served in her church, New Covenant Fellowship of Manassas, Virginia, since 1990 and they will probably bury her there.
