Evelyn Mount Community Outreach — Giving back to the community in Reno and Sparks, NV. Teenlife. Dear Youth Leader, Reaching the youth of today is harder than ever. Helping them grow deeper in Christ can be even more difficult. The challenge is having the time to administrate the youth ministry and still have time to spend with the youth. You know that's where lives are really changed.

As you know, youth ministry has two main and critical goals: 1. 2. Those two goals are challenging because of what teens face every day. Sex Getting along with parents Lust Hassled to do drugs Media Rebellion Succeeding in school Anorexia/Bulimia Cutting Disabilities/health issues Adolescents/puberty Dating pressure Alcohol Acceptance Making friends Avoiding addiction Building self-esteem Sexual identity Suicide Bullying Attractiveness Just to name a FEW! It's overwhelming to just to SEE everything kids are going through, much less try to minister to them in the midst of it all.

The "average" ministry requires constant attention and more time than we have! Bible classes Devotionals Game nights Worship Small groups Mission trips. Free Student Ministry Games, Ideas and Fundraisers - EGAD! Ideas. Schedule a friday night to have a fundraiser themed towards the senior citizens in the church. Set it up in the fellowship hall or some other open area. If there is a DJ or music-savvy person in the church, see if they wouldn't mind DJing for you. You can burn a cd or two with several songs and maybe even set up a litle dance area if the space is there. Also serve food that is somewhat associated with the time period like baked chicken, cornbread, greenbeans, and mashed potatoes.

Keep the music playing constantly with the DJ offering trivia as to who sings the song coming up. Another good idea that we did is have a 8 person checker tournament with the winner getting a prize (we gave em a brand new checkerboard). Another thing we did was give a prize to the most energetic person in attendance (a little girl won and we gave her a "Lassie" DVD). One more thing that should be a big part of your "40's/ 50's Night" is the exhibit area. Hope this helps. Youth Ministry. YouthWorkers.net Home.
