Description
Of all the questions Jesus was asked, “Who is My Neighbor?” might be the most simultaneously simple and challenging. These six sessions seek to help youth understand and embrace Jesus’ teaching to love all people as neighbors. Stories Jesus told and the example of Jesus’ own interactions with his neighbors are woven together with teaching from the Hebrew Scripture and letters from the early church to show the importance of care for all people as a unifying theme of the Bible. Reach Curriculum’s “Who is My Neighbor?” seeks to challenge youth beyond their comfort zone of people who are “like them” to consider the image of God in all persons and the ways our faith calls us to a life of community across difference and special care for the vulnerable.
Reach is a faith formation curriculum for youth in grades 9–12, designed to help young people explore the call of Jesus in every aspect of their lives. Each unit consists of six sessions on a biblical or life topic relevant to youth today. A FlexGen session is included in every unit providing youth an opportunity to interact and explore faith together with other generations.
