Church Youth Groups

milo  said about 5 years ago  or at  3:23PM on Friday, October 6 2006 in chat

I have to run a church youth group because my mother who is old and really religous wants me to help. Because there is noone old who can connect with the kids... I don't believe in god and I need some activities to make the kids do

I need ideas but not rude ones or ones that have gay things in them (boring disney movies

newguy  said about 5 years ago:

Teach them to sing 'Forever Young'


Benji  said about 5 years ago:

Or how about you start a little sweatshop making religious propoganda (tshirts, teatowels etc).

A few ideas:
"God I love it here"
"Ikea makes baby Jesus right at home"
"Jesus! Would you look at this orsum teatowel!"


milo  said about 5 years ago:

these are shit ideas - I need stuff that makes god or jesus look cool that takes up about 2 hours a week.

Can you get guitar tab for church songs


fastcanoe  said about 5 years ago:

Start your own fucking cult!!

Like you'll ever have a better opportunity to warp young minds!


Benji  said about 5 years ago:

Hmmm makes Jesus look cool? If there's something cooler than a Jesus tshirt I don't wanna know about it!

Alright, so its two hours a week, keep the kids loving the big JC, I'm thinking you could recreate the last supper, but each week you and the kids could prepare and roll out a wicked little feast each time.

Then you could wash their feet, and crawl behind a big rock (theres stuff in between there but its too graphic for the kiddies).


milo  said about 5 years ago:

not cooking

I think a band might be cool maybe a old skool rock band like the velvet goldmine


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

jesus doesn't need to be made to look cool, man.


milo  said about 5 years ago:

Hazard_Man  said about 5 years ago:

Hmm, I'm surprised the actual church is cool with this . . . many would have something to say about an athiest running their youth group.

The Hand of the Almighty
John R Butler

Oh, sinner, do not stray
From the straight and narrow way
For the Lord is surely watching what you do
If you approach the Devil's den
Turn 'round don't enter in
Lest the hand of the almighty fall on you.

He'll fuck you up (he'll fuck you up)
Yes, God will fuck you up
If you dare to disobey his stern command.
He'll fuck you up (he'll fuck you up)
Don't you know he'll fuck you up
So you better do some prayin' while you can.

Long ago a man named Lot
Had a wife he thought was hot
But she could not stop her black and sinful ways.
You know it was her own damn fault
When God turned that bitch to salt.
That's the way he used to work back in those days:

He fucked 'em up (he fucked 'em up)
He really fucked 'em up
When the people went and turned their backs on him
He can fuck you up (he'll fuck you up)
No shit he'll fuck you up
Just like he fucked the people up back then.

I used to have a friend named Ray
Who walked that evil way
He cursed and drank and broke his neighbor's fence
You know Ray was full aware
That some sheep were over there
And he knew them in the Biblical sense.

God fucked him up (he fucked him up)
He went and fucked Ray up
Went and paid him back for all his wicked sins.
He fucked him up (he fucked him up)
Fucked that boy completely up
Now he's married to a Presbyterian.

k2  said about 2 years ago:

I also attended church youth groups when i was younger. Met my first girlfriend in one, and also heard Technotronic for the first time in another one. Acid House! I went to some Antioch thing somewhere in the city and we had a séance. Later that year, I saw one of the guy from Antioch on Burt Newtons daytime show getting an autograph from Lou Diamond Phillips.

It wasn't so bad in hindsight - just a bunch of horny naive kids doing dumb shit, but not drinking or boning each other.


Manhattan  said about 2 years ago:

I went there once with my brother, who was troubled at the time and was advised to go there by a social worker who thought he needed ''community support''. Anyways, for some reason I got dragged along and my great task for the evening was MAKING SOCK PUPPETS.

Jesus and I have been on bad terms ever since.


toadphoney  said about 2 years ago:

You can't blame Jesus. He is merely a prophet with lovely blue eyes and strangely Caucasian features.

You need to blame Jehovah.

Shit sock puppets are his doing.


Manhattan  said about 2 years ago:

I'll compromise and blame it on original sin.

luke  said about 2 years ago:

I went to a christian youth group for awhile. Like the christian cricket team I played in the bulk of attendees were non-christian. the youth group just did shit like play putt putt golf, run around the street, play soccer, go to macdonalds etc.. they'd always try and get kids to go to the sunday service,nobody turned up. then they started talking about jesus at the youth group, so everyone stopped going.

The leader (one of the kids dads) just couldn't really control the kids (although everyone was tame) and did stupid shit like get down on his hands and knees on the middle of the road and lick the gravel (because he was 'dared to). I guess the funniest moment was when everyone was making noise at the local park, so resident got the shits and came out with some big wooden plank with a nails stuck on the end of it threatening to beat us. The leader responded to this situation by saying ''the noise goes when we go''

no need to say it twice jesus....oops blasphemy


dnzr  said about 2 years ago:

i got tricked into going to one with some friends when i was about 15. Lame bible study stuff. We got even a few weeks later by getting drunk and setting the scarecrow that overlooked the vegie patch behind the church on fire..


jimmybobbin  said about 2 years ago:

Youth group was a strange time in my life. Repressed sexual tension, dealing with puberty.

My first crush.

Most of the people who went had worse morals than the average person, but thats not surprising

You clearly didn't go to the same Antioch I went to!


mushymouth  said about 2 years ago:

haha, same! In retrospect, I should have been suspicous, especially when it involved going to st ives.

A friend of mine has a brother that joined a group to ''learn about the enemy'' (he was heavily into death metal at the time). He promptly got converted, found a girl, got married and now leads the youth group and plays in the church ''rock'' band. So apparently they can be quite convincing.


outerspacextrapnel  said about 2 years ago:

I went to one for a while. I was bribed into going by the promise of chocolate cake, which God delivered.

I even went on a camp one time, five kids nearly drowned at the beach. You could argue that God was shining down on us tha meant we survived. I prefer to think it was the local surfie kids who didn't want to see kids smashed on the rocks who saved us.


QueenElizabeth  said about 2 years ago:

I was made to listen to that Christian hair-metal band Stryper. They were sort of like Queen but where the lead singer goes to Heaven.


TransientRandom  said about 2 years ago:

Haha, me too. But via Hillsong.

Never a congregation member, but I took lessons there. It made me what I are.
