Tonight in my ministry we'll be initiating, I mean WELCOMING our new 7th grade class into the first day of the rest of their scholastic life. And simultaneously bidding a fond farewell to our graduating seniors.
One thing I don't feel I do well is bridging the gap between 6th grade and 7th, many students coming into youth group are either apprehensive or scared to death. There are those who are fortunate (or in their view unfortunate) enough to have an older sibling who is in youth ministry, so they have a better idea of what goes on in the youth room on a Wednesday night. But for those walking in for the first time it can be pretty intimidating.
I don't really have any answers this morning on the subject but I'd love to hear your thought and ideas (proven or unproven) on bridging that gap.
Blessings,
Jeremiah
