Catholic Youth Ministry Convention
Life Teen’s Catholic Youth Ministry Convention has become America’s premier event for everyone involved in parish youth ministry. Why? Maybe it’s because we are different. 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.

I Choose the Sky
There are many women who are a vital part of salvation history and their stories are critical parts of Sacred Scripture. This scriptural devotion will inspire young women to raise their heads along with Mary, Martha, Lydia, and Esther and look into the eyes of Jesus, the God who loves deeply and perfectly.

True North
You are going to make thousands of decisions today and one of them might change your life. Are you confident that what you want and what God want are the same thing? Don’t leave it up to chance - leave it in the hands of the Holy Spirit.

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

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.
