So I had my first successful youth event, well if you call 5 people a success. But let me break it down a little bit more than that, 2 were members of the church, another 1 comes to Sunday school but not church service, then 2 "guests" one being the pastor's son's girlfriend. It was a super weird combo of people too. I had a good time, it was the corn maze. It was nice to leave the house for something other than going to Wal-Mart on a Saturday was nice.
Today I went to church, obviously, and had someone in the congregation had all these ideas on what to do with the youth group. They were all legitimate ideas it just stressed me out thinking about it. I have so much to do and no idea how to get it all done. Plus how much effort do I want to put into all of this then leave come July? One of the ideas was to try and set up a youth board (which I really want) and have each person be in charge of one section of the youth. Its a different angle on a youth board than I have seen done before. I want to do a bunch of stuff with the youth and have tons of ideas, I'm just afraid of asking permission to do it. Right now I have an idea to visit another church in our circuit but I'm afraid to ask the pastor. He is super conservation and HATES contemporary service and that's what they have at this church. And to be honest I really would love to go to a contemporary service. What is a girl to do?
