Weekend Wrap Up

Kurt on March 30th, 2009

Lesson:Week one of our two week ‘mini series’, “Sunday Old School” (Rahab)

Attendance: Lower than average.

Music:Music was great! It was an all junior high band led by a high school student. As a closer, they played a very cool version of Jesus Loves Me.

Volunteer Involvement: Felt a little lower than usual. Maybe coming out of our ‘School Wars’ series they were ready for a break.

Student Involvement: Lower than average. Other than the band, students weren’t used much.

“Fun Factor”:Different than usual, but high. We really played up the old school sunday school theme and played older games, sang older songs etc. It’s not something that would work very often, but for a two-week series it seems fun.

Creative Twist:Instead of me telling the story of Rahab and then teaching, we had a team member dressed up like an old man in a rocking chair reading a version we wrote. It was very true to the biblical account and we just added a few funny jokes and pictures here and there. Then, later in the service I taught for about 12 minutes.

Kurt,

Our middle school program at NewPointe is solid, but we’ve been feeling like we’re stuck in a rut with our weekly programming. We are running small groups outside of Sunday mornings and we definitely want to make Sunday a foyer environment for students. What are your non-negotiable elements to planning a service? Music? Student Involvement? Discussion Groups? Application steps?

Thanks,
Matt
