Parent Volunteer Form

This is a great form to gather parent volunteer resources. We typically pass these out at our main parent meetings in the Fall and the Summer. Click Here to download the form.

Get your Volunteers Circulating

If you have been in youth ministry for very long, then you have probably run across this situation: You are looking out over a mass of teenage activity, and there you spot a clump of adults.

I'm not sure if they are scared to talk to the kids, or just prefer the comfort of talking to someone that will probably not shoot them down if they say something wrong. Whichever it is, at the heart of it, most volunteers really do want to get to know the kids. They just need an avenue. A great way to provide that avenue, is to give your adults some random poll to go around and ask the kids. Make sure that you instruct your adults to get the kids name, and try to find out one other thing about the kid.

I did this last week with my volunteers, and it was awesome! I actually offered a $5 McD's gift card for the volunteer to get the most names.

Talk: How To Fight Like A Christian

Recently I did a Sunday Night talk titled "How To Fight........Like A Christian".

I see in youth culture today, youth not really knowing how to deal with eachother in the face of a disagreement or argument. The Bible is pretty clear on this (imagine that) Hope this is a great discussion starter for you.

I am uploading (click here to download the Keynote)the original Keynote with notes. I am also attaching a .PPT file for use on PowerPoint (here to download the .PPT). This presentation runs about 12-15 minutes, and clearly outlines what the Bible has to say about how we as Christians are to deal with each other in the face of a "disagreement".

It should preload with the "Rocky" theme song in the background. makes for a nice touch.
