Activities for Young Adults
http://www.vibrantfaithathome.org/item/i-go-because

Activities for Teens
http://www.vibrantfaithathome.org/item/finding-faith-in-the-stranger
*(Encountering a stranger, someone who is different than we are, can be awkward and even hard… but when we lean into them, as opposed to turning away, we can learn their story and their perspective. That can grow us and them).
http://www.vibrantfaithathome.org/item/summer-job-spirituality
*(Working a summer job is more than just about making money to save for school and fun things. How we serve and show hospitality to those we encounter during our jobs counts).
Activities for Young Families
http://www.vibrantfaithathome.org/item/give-and-grow
*(A sure way to grow your own faith, as well as show the love and care of Jesus, is to serve others. How about this idea?)
http://www.vibrantfaithathome.org/item/charting-family-service
*(Even having your family serve one another can go a long way in growing faith and building relationships).
http://www.vibrantfaithathome.org/item/value-of-each-person
*(Understanding & seeing the value in all people leads to showing love and care for all people. Seeing people from God’s eyes will grow our faith… and maybe even rub off on others!).
