Following the game we watched a video about a bad dating relationship from Bluefishtv.net. A young lady shared her story about being involved in an unhealthy relationship and the affect it had on her as a follower of Christ.After the video we divided up the middle and high school groups. Ramon taught the middle school students, and I hear he did a fantastic job, and I had the high school students. Our lesson last night was about dating relationships. You know dating is not found in the Bible. So we took off from there and even gave the students some tips on "how to break up".
The POD groups took giant post it notes and each group wrote the advantages of dating on one side of the post it note and the disadvantages on the other side. For every group the disadvantages outweighed the advantages and as a youth group over all the disadvantages list was way longer than the advantages.
During Hang Time we had corn dogs and hot dogs, pretzels and our famous red kool aid. Somehow I ended up making about ten iced coffees before the night was over. Looks like iced coffee is going to have to go up on the menu whenever we put up a menu.
This next Sunday we talk about our relationship with the church. Looking forward to it.
The picture is our new The Loft logo that we placed on the wall last week and some of our fantastic students modeling beneath the sticker.

I like the fork game! Always looking for new game ideas for our youth group. Can you give more details about how to play? Does someone hold the fork at the end of the table? Take turns rolling? Time limit? Thank you!
Hi Christy!
We used a 6 foot table put the fork upside down with the tines facing the students. Fork at one end, student at the other. Gave them a bunch of quarters and they had 1 minute to roll as many as they could towards the fork. The one with the most quarters in the tines of the fork wins. The fork doesn't need to be held.
