Other Resources

There are all sorts of ways in which we at Scripture Union hope we can help you to live for God at school. Some of those are things we already do:

• Downloadable resources
• We produce resource and ideas books which you could use in your group
• We produce Bible reading guides
• We run a wide range of holidays

These resources are in PDF format, so they require a copy of Adobe Reader or other equivalent software to read or print them

• Jesus in School
 (220 KB) – six meeting outlines and add-on ideas for school Christian groups who want to be ready for action.

Reading the Bible regularly is a fantastic way to:

• Increase your understanding of faith
• Find out about what God wants for you
• Help you grow closer to God
  You might like to find out more about specific products that will help you do that.

SUbmerge is a daily guide designed for 11-14s. It is all about helping young people get closer to God as they read the Bible and talk to him. It also has group ideas so there might be things you can use at your Christian group. For more information, please visit the SUbmerge website.

We’ll add to this over time so come back here for the latest news.

Ready-to-use resources so that you can look at the Bible together, with two themes in each book. Designed for the 11-14 age group. These would be an excellent resource for groups that only have a limited amount of time together. They cost £3.50 each.More information about the Word Up series is given below and you can buy online.

Running Christian Groups in Secondary Schools
Does exactly what it says on the cover.

Section 1 helps you think through the whys, whats and hows of starting a group. There are forty outlines for different kinds of groups, which are ready to use immediately. Themes such as peer pressure, parents as well as Christmas, Easter and Hallowe’en are all covered.

This book is out of print, but you might be able to find a copy on Amazon.

Don't you get frustrated that just when the conversation is getting interesting at your Christian group the school bell rings? And when you want to meet up either before school or after school someone's bus is always late or they have to shoot off for basketball/hockey/football/choir/orchestra?

Scripture Union may just have that break you are looking for.

You have a choice of over 80 holidays for that ideal opportunity for you to get away as a group to spend time together relaxing, having fun and getting involved in a whole range of activities including drama, games, sports and outdoor pursuits.

More significantly, however, they also give you time to think through some of life's spiritual questions and consider what it might mean to serve God at school.

They run from Devon to Northumberland, from Kent to Cumbria and even overseas. They run throughout the year and last anything from a weekend to a fortnight.
