One semester is done and the next quarter is starting. But with which topic?

Here are a few suggestions.

From back to front, the Bible is characterized by the story of salvation as well as historical events. In our new semester we have the theme "D'Jungschi voll im Element" - The Jungschar totally in the element, and we are dealing with the elements: earth, fire, water, air (wind) and gold. The spiritual concept is based on an event from the history of salvation.

So we start at the beginning of the Bible and finish at the end of the Bible - and all that in just five afternoons - not bad, eh? Of course, we cannot deal with the whole story, but only with some very central events - so-called key passages, otherwise we would never be able to do this!
