Creative Worship: The Life Of Jesus

Last Sunday we ran a joint youth event with St Margaret’s Angmering and St Peter & St Paul’s Rustington called iWorship. The purpose was to hang out, have a meal and worship together allowing a chance for the youth to get to know young Christians from the other churches. It was a great event and [...]

River Crossing

River Crossing

This is less of a game and more of a simple logic puzzle. However by dressing up and acting out the scenario, our Ignite group (11-14′s) has had a lot of fun playing! Numbers: groups of up to 10. Around five or six works well. Suitable for: older children and younger teens (8-14′s). Preparation time: [...]

Speed Pictionary

I mentioned this game before as it is one we’ve used quite a lot over the years.

This assembly plan [...]

Butt Charades!

We tried this game at Ignite last week as part of our Challenge Night. I first heard about it on the source for youth ministry podcast and thought it could be a lot of fun! The premise is that someone has to spell out a word to their teammates simply by wiggling their derrière in [...]

Discussion: Homosexuality and the Bible

We’ve recently been tackling some difficult themes at Fuel, our church youth group for 15′s+ and the most recent was the topic of Homosexuality and the Bible. The following is the notes that I prepared for the evening and they were designed as a discussion starter. As such they are in no way a comprehensive [...]
