Contagious moved back to the church last night from the beach. We will hit the beach again next summer. It was great to see the students and YM team hanging out on the loft and in the lobby playing games and eating nachos. Yes, it was nacho night and they were some kind of good!
Started off with a fun video from Student Life, Can Rush Jump It?
Followed that up with a fun Power Play game, Monster Dating from Simply Youth Ministry. (you can get to Simply's site through the ad box on this page)
Following the game the table groups had some discussion time answering questions we had up on the big screen. All of this happened on the big screen from the very beginning until I got up to teach about God's love. Usually I'm up on the platform the entire time but last night we let the screen do the "leading" it seemed to work well and was a good change of pace.
I plan on incorporating students on video for the announcements and a few other fun stuffs. The face of Contagious is changing this fall and it should be a fun time of experimenting and using different formats for our youth group time. It's good to change things up it keeps us all on our toes and keeps us out of ruts.

@givinittogod247 . . .and we miss you! But now this means you can enter a whole new world with NHC youth. Now you can join the YM team when you are home on breaks and in the summer. :) That means you get in on the "staff meetings" :0
