Don't let our teens survive re-entry

Sunday, our teens return from the Momentum Youth Conference. Like the many camp and spiritual emphasis weeks of my youth, they too will likely be coming off of a week of intense spiritual highs and will face the challenge of not riding the pendulum in the other direction. In that vein I found Josh Griffin's post today thought provoking in regards to ways we can engage our teens at Grace Church. While several of his ideas revolve around the weekend worship services, what if you applied them to your ABF, future small group or even your social groups (have families over for pizza, include the teens, and as part of the conversation, ask the teens questions about what they're learning, dreaming, etc.).

Let's not let the teens merely survive their return from Momentum, let's help them excel and keep moving closer to Christ!
