	Participate! Helping young people explore discipleship and vocation (Meg Prowting, Penny Fuller & Mike Seaton, Barnabas) RRP £11.99   A seven-week programme designed to enable 9-14s to gain the understanding and skills needed to live out their Christian lives within the local church and wider community.   After the first six sessions the young people are given the opportunity to choose a task that they are interested in trying as a voluntary placement. Under guidance they then work alongside someone who is already performing the task and are encouraged to reflect on the role undertaken and what it means to serve others and God in that way.   A My Participate! Journal is also available for the young people to use (RRP £3.99).   The authors are all part of the Methodist Church Children and Youth team.
