CYMC
We believe in practical, comprehensive youth ministry training. But we don’t think that’s enough. That’s why we incorporate elements of a spiritual retreat into the training convention. Because youth ministry isn’t about what you know, it’s Who you know.

Into the Desert
Jesus knows what it is like in the desert, but He also knows what it is like to emerge from the desert having remained faithful to God. This Lent, we look to Jesus as our model and pray that we can follow His example, prevailing against the temptations of the devil and growing deeper in our relationship with God.

Ascend
Ascend provides insightful and fun background information, prayer challenges, and weekly explanations of the Sunday readings to help Catholics dive deeply into the Word of God through the Mass readings from the 1st Sunday in Advent to The Solemnity of Christ the King for Cycle C.

An Edge Night on the Epiphany of the Lord

About this Edge Night

The Edge Night begins with a Gather game that commemorates the magi bringing Jesus gifts by having the youth unwrap gifts while wearing oven mitts. The Proclaim discusses how the Epiphany reminds us that the true meaning of Christmas, the Incarnation, extends beyond Christmas Day. The Break allows for small group conversation to discuss the story of the Epiphany and its relevance to us. The Send ends the Edge Night with a rendition of the traditional Epiphany house blessing for the Edge meeting space.

Goal of This Night

The goal of this Edge Night is to prepare the youth for and explain the Church’s celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord. This Edge Night will provide the youth with an understanding of the feast and personal applications to their faith.

Scripture

Isaiah 60:1 -7

Matthew 2:1 -12

John 3:16

Key Concepts

The Church uses a liturgical calendar that sets aside specific days and seasons to celebrate different parts of our faith.

This week the Church celebrates the Epiphany of the Lord, a day commemorating the wise men visiting and worshipping baby Jesus.

Celebrating the Epiphany reminds us that the true meaning of Christmas, Christ’s Incarnation, goes beyond one day and should impact how we live our daily lives.
