As a part of a series that draws connections between Growing Young and Seven Practices, we look at how Growing Young's Jesus’ Message connected to 7 Practices Engaged Parents, Deeply Understanding Their Baptismal Faith, and Warmth, Challenge and Grace

This curriculum was used in 2020 during our YouthLead retreat. It focuses on helping youth understand their Baptismal identity and how it impacts their everyday faith. In our Baptism, we receive God's promises and God's work is on display. As Baptized children of God, the Holy Spirit strengthens us for all we will experience in life, especially as we are called to be different in this world.

In a time of division, your Baptism builds a bridge between you and billions of people. In this devotion, we are reminded in Baptism we are unified in Christ.

This study is designed to be done as a standalone study, particularly on a Sunday when there may be a Baptism happening in worship. The hope is that such a study will encourage meaningful conversation about how young people can deeply understand their Baptismal Faith. Even though we will get many gifts in this life, no gift is greater or continual gift like the gifts we receive in Baptism.

We love new things, but you have been made new and forgiven because of your Baptism. Read more in this third devotion on Baptism for young people.
