As the holiday weekend approaches honoring the life of DR. Martin Luther King Jr, many are looking for a faithful response in an unsettled world. To help your church use this holiday as an opportunity to engage students in a historical and theological context, Passport Media is offering a FREE resource to churches and student ministers.
In our free 60-minute lesson Dream. Believe. Do., your students will unpack the concept of “doing justice and loving kindness” (Micah 6:8) by connecting Dr. King’s speeches with the biblical passages that informed them. This lesson concludes with time for youth to reflect and identify specific ways they can take faith-based actions to respond to the issues around them today. The free lesson can be downloaded here and is a perfect resource for youth workers looking for a tie-in to MLK weekend, Black History month, a conversation connector to the new movie Selma, or any time a relevant single-lesson is needed.
What you can expect from this free resource:
+ Single lesson lasting approx. 60 minutes
+ Perfect for High School Students who want to engage history & theology around MLK
+ Fully-prepared & ready-to-print handouts
+ Very little preparation time required
