OBJECT: Move flamingos from house to house with a $20 (can change amount) donation from each house. FLAMINGOS: This can be purchased at Orientaltrading.com or Dollartree.com and takesContinueContinue reading “RELEASE THE FLAMINGO’S FUNDRAISER”

DINNER & AUCTION
One of my favorite fundraisers was our annual “DINNER & AUCTION.” Of course, the chief element of any successful youth event is FOOD. Serve a basic meal for free to entice everyone in your church to stay for your fundraising event. Your goal with food is to get them there, not to make a profit;ContinueContinue reading “DINNER & AUCTION”

STUDENT AWARD CEREMONY
I love providing memories for students! I tried to listen to our students and discover things they wanted do or be involved in. I then tried to prayerfully balance that against what they needed. As Youth Pastor of X-treme Se7en Student Ministries our students asked for a replacement type event for prom. They wanted to be ableContinueContinue reading “STUDENT AWARD CEREMONY”
THRIVING WITH PARENTS
Previously we talked about “surviving parents.” The term “surviving parents” denotes that we are playing defense and that we are merely “surviving” the situation. However, in ministry and in life I prefer to go on the offense. The focus of this post is to “thrive” with parents. I believe it is possible due to my pastContinueContinue reading “THRIVING WITH PARENTS”

Pickup some cheap pumpkin pies somewhere, or have someone in the church make some, or if your really brave have someone in your church oversee your students bake the pies. Then have the students decorate them. Once theContinueContinue reading “CREATIVE PUMPKIN PIE CONTEST”

A few years ago, IContinueContinue reading “AN UNPLUGGED NIGHT OF WORSHIP AND THANKSGIVING”
