Welcome to the Youth Meeting Resource. One of the biggies in FBYM is helping parents pass on their faith to their teen. We as youth workers can creatively create such situations to help the parent not feel inadequate to do that and to help the teen to receive it. What are those meeting ideas you have done that have worked?

I'm an ordained minister, former pastor, and current seminary professor of Christian education. When my church, Maple Grove Church of God in Anderson, Indiana, became aware that its traditional model of youth ministry (hire a youth pastor to do it all) wasn't working, we investigated and adopted the LOGOS model. That was 1993. We are now gearing up for our 18th year of ministry with teens and their parents with this model. We have seen an increase in retention -- with 70% of our youth remaining active in church through high school graduation (up from what most churches experience, which is only about 20% retention). We also noticed an increase in intergenerational relationships, where the youth and adults actually know each other and consider each other their friends. I tell my seminary students that I would not attempt pastoral ministry today without the LOGOS model of youth ministry.

This is an illustration that can be used for a lesson that includes or focuses on Hebrews 12:1. The speaker can get himself all weighed down and tangled up while discussing the verse, or divided into families and let them weigh down and tangle up a someone. You’ll need: 10 or so rocks about the size of your hand for each person getting weighed down, rope, a roll of duct tape.

Youthworker.com has this great Youth Culture Lesson based from a true story about a teen girl getting grounded and using Facebook to try to get that punishment overturned. This would make a great lesson for you to help your parents and teens talk through together. You can find the prepared lesson at http://www.youthworker.com/youth-lessons-bible-study/youth-lessons/11625054/

For the food part of a youth meeting that includes both the parents and the teens, have a Cereal Bowl. Have each member bring a box of their favorite cereal. The youth worker and his/her team provides the bowls, spoons, and juice. Nothing breaks the ice more than the comfort of some good cereal.
