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.
