SONG
Press on forward Master Guides with holy boldness; we’re invested with great strength.
To help all the youth who choose to be with Jesus, and they long to follow Him.
To the lost souls we are giving the great message that constrains within our hearts.
There’s a crown awaiting each of us in heaven, with bright stars which Jesus has for us.
Press on forward Master Guides with holy boldness; we’re invested with great strength.
With a glorious torch that’s lifted up towards heaven, will bring light into this world.
Though we’re threatened by a world that’s filled with darkness, we’ll go forward without fear.
In the light that keeps on shining from our Savior, to help guide us as we walk the AY path.

Theme:

Sermon Ideas:
Have a pastor, elder, or prayer leader preach a short sermon about the importance of regular personal devotions and family
worship. Scripture passage: John 4:23.
[OR]
Have the Ten Days of Prayer participants take turns offering 1- or 2-minute summaries for each of the 10 daily prayer guides.
Share the title, the main verse, and a key thought. (Plan ahead so the summaries stay within 1-2 minutes. For most people, one minute is 125-150 spoken words.)
[OR]
Enlist three individuals of different age groups to give 5-minute presentations on how they do personal devotions. In addition, have one or two families share ideas of how to facilitate engaging family worship experiences. The youth could also help with music or offer testimonies.
