Youth Group for Adults

This last week at Hillcrest, we've had a photo scavenger hunt that took groups throughout the city.  We had a little St. Patrick's trivia at the beginning of each service this past Sunday complete with shanrock shakes for the participants. Also this past Sunday, we had a big bash for our volunteers which included giving each family with kids a prepaid card for the restaurant's arcade.  And this week our women's ministries will host a movie night for moms and daughters and our men's ministries will fill out brackets for March Madness.

The point?  Church should be fun.  Or, church should be like youth group for adults.  One of (the best?!) the great things about youth ministry is how much fun the students and leaders have.  Game time each week.  Silly stage contests before the lesson.  Hanging out after the lesson at a restaurant.  Service trips to the inner city and bonding trips to camp and amusement parks.  Yes, there is of course more to youth ministry and church then playing chubby bunnies and or racing go karts.

But the fun parts of church and faith shouldn't stop just because you've graduated from high school . . .
