Youth Ministry for Big People

I’m not going to lie – this fires me up!
Church Marketing Sucks points to a story from Willow Creek about using multi-generational strategies in their church.

Fannie Hamilton sat among teenagers during the Sunday service. She used her left hand to hold up her stroke-affected right hand in praise, belting out the words to ‘My Glorious’ by Delirious. A few minutes later, she stood next to a 16-year-old, who joined her in belting out the words to ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness.’ She was a small group leader in our youth ministry at the age of 82.

I’m fired up. That really gets me going to see that image in my head.

Sugar rush

So I came to work this morning and left to do finish my paper route and grab a breakfast burrito.
I did real good yesterday (or so I think). I had a small lunch and an even smaller dinner last night.
Then I cleaned out my garage, drinking a gallon of water at the time and worked out on my new weight bench for 20-30 min.
But I think I just killed all of that.
On the way back to the office I stopped to get a foutain drink and the local store had a deal on 44 ounces, PLUS free skittles or starburst with every fountain drink purchase.
Oh man – sugar rush.
And now I’m really tired. Dang.

CWF Results

Here are the results from the CWF show at Cliff Temple Baptist in Oak Cliff (Dallas), Wednesday night.
I don’t believe a head count was done, but we estimated 18-22 people came to decisions for Christ last night. Praise God!
The youth minister had been praying for many of them for a long time. It was a great crowd, very interractive and excited to be there.

As for the wrestling:
Chris Idol def. The Bishop
Eagle def. Son of Thunder
Tim Storm def. Michael Malick
Six man tag: The Bishop, Michael Malick and The Zealot def. Chris Idol, Eagle and Tim Storm – Bishop made the pin on Idol.

Our next show is June 25th in Rockwall, so we hope to see you there.
