Never Have I Ever

For this introduction game, have the youth sit in a circle. Each player takes turns standing up and saying something that they have never done. They begin by saying, “Never have I ever…” Each person holds up all ten fingers and if the teen has done what the person standing says he or she hasn’t done, they have to put down one finger. The goal is to keep your fingers up and the last person to have a finger up wins.

MAYBE ALSO DO 2 TRUTHS 1 LIE

Teaching

A little about myself

-White guy

-Christian family, don’t think I was saved, made decisions that only hurt me but thought it was cool and felt good.

-Jesus rescued me

-My passion is for the Church

Galatians 6:2 NET

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:10 NET

So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.

-You will get what you put into this group

-6th graders: invitation to have your burdens carried by us, and train you to carry our burdens

-Burden carriers, those who’ve made this your home: come alongside those who are new. They are your family. ().

My goal:

I hated Youth Group when I was your age

This is the place you look forward to coming all week, to be refreshed in Christ

These are the people you love to spend time with all week, to be encouraged in Christ

This is where you are taught to share the Gospel, and to invite others to know Christ

Pray for Newbies (maybe have groups pray for upcoming year and brotherly love)
