One of the hardest part of a Youth Service or any Service or event for that matter is the announcements of upcoming events. No matter how many times you tell them, put it in print, or tell them again; people just don't remember. There is always the common excuse "Well, I didn't know!" So I decided to spice up our announcements for our youth service with an idea I got from Josh Griffin at Saddleback Church. I laughed and my whole staff laughed when we saw the finished product. But....during service it was dead silence. I don't know if that's good or bad because normally there is a little chatter during announcments. There was no chatter and definately no laughing... So I don't know if the students were just taken back by my creativity and really paying attention to the announcments or if they were just like "are you serious!"
Anyway I thought it was pretty stinkin' awesome!

Announcements + Teenagers = Nothing
A few years ago, I got so tired of hearing from teens "Oh, I forgot!" that I had a special T-shirt made with a guy on it saying the phrase. Ordered around 70 of them. Anytime after an event I'd ask why they weren't there and get that excuse I'd give them a shirt and bring them to the front, kick them in the butt and eveyone say in a jerk voice "oh, I forgot."
Looking back now, it seems a little over the top, but it worked back then.....lol
Video-freaking awesome! Teenagers forgetting-NOT freaking awesome! Just seems to happen though a lot! Hope all is well. Man, are you talented or what! I'm also impressed by the books in the shelves, but just cause I'm a nerd!
I still think this is funny...you must play with you bible dolls too much! lol. Good job.
