Show the group the Two Ronnies’ hilarious ‘Mastermind’ sketch in which the contestant answers the question before last. Let the young people devise their own questions and have a similar quiz themselves. It doesn’t have to be scripted to be funny.

Provide newspapers and magazines, scissors, glue and a large sheet of paper. Invite the group to create a collage of God’s kingdom, both earthly and heavenly, showing how the two interact. There is no wrong or right way to depict this, but simply their own way.

Use a toy crown, or make one from card, and attach acrylic jewels, glass nuggets or shiny buttons with sticky tac. Place the jewelled crown on a table in the middle of the group and say a simple prayer of confession. Invite people to detach a ‘jewel’ from the crown, as a symbol that they are forgiven and renewed.

Prayer of Confession
O Christ the King,
for unloving attitudes,
for words that hurt,
for actions that cause pain to others,
we seek your forgiveness;
we seek renewal;
we seek to be made whole in you.
Amen.

Pray together that God’s kingdom might come.
The response is: Your kingdom come.

Jesus, Lord and King,
we pray for those who are oppressed;
Your kingdom come.

for those subject to unjust regimes…

for those who face persecution…

for… (add other prayers, or keep silence).

Jesus, Lord and King,
we pray for the coming of your kingdom
of justice and mercy.
Amen.
