In this episode we talk about creative ways to engage teens in programs and activities throughout the holiday season and the entire year. How do we make authentic connections with our teens? How do we ensure that we are being inclusive (and not only focus on the younger children and assume teens will enjoy the same activities)? We offer suggestions on how to make sure they stay connected to the corps, and how to build lasting relationships with them.

In this episode we are joined by Major Jamie Satterlee – Territorial Youth Secretary & Candidates Secretary, and Major Nicole Parker - Divisional Youth Secretary of the Potomac Division, to walk through a calendar year of youth event, activity, and program planning. We give ideas, suggestions, and tips on how to plan, and are reminded of the reason we have these events in the first place.

In this episode we are joined by Major Jamie Satterlee – Territorial Youth Secretary & Candidates Secretary, and Major Brenda Raymer - Territorial Director of International Personnel Services/Personnel Special Projects, to talk about the importance of children's prayer ministry. We discuss how to pray with children and teens, how to teach them the importance of talking to God in prayer, and how we can be examples to children through our own prayer ministry.
