Scripture Union has launched a new online resource centre to act as a one-stop shop for busy children’s and youth group leaders.
The LightLive service brings the Bible stories best loved by children to one place together with practical learning and support material, including quizzes and games.
One year in the making, the resource has been developed by Scripture Union in response to appeals from overloaded children’s and youth workers for greater support.
Scripture Union’s Publishing Director Terry Clutterham said: “In our frenetic society, leaders and their teams are busy people. We know they want material at their fingertips, and we want to equip them. Result? LightLive, an online solution.”
Children’s and youth group leaders will now be able to access a weekly syllabus of downloadable material from the LightLive programme, suitable for ages five to 14 and available completely free-of-charge.
LightLive is designed to be more than just downloadable resources, however. The service also allows leaders to manage their children’s and youth groups online, assign team members to run particular sessions, keep in contact with their team, and track chosen session plans.
Leaders will be able to access Scripture Union’s extensive database of resource material on almost every Bible story ever told and can customise their own syllabus with multi-media content, or follow the Bible-based Light syllabus provided by Scripture Union. Syllabuses can also be tailored according to age as well as draw from Scripture Union’s all-age resources.
LightLive automatically calculates running times so that leaders no longer have to worry about preparing too many or too few activities.
The whole online package is supported through Scripture Union’s regular Light training programme.
