Last night at youth group we celebrated the cultural tradition of watching the Superbowl together. This is honestly the single biggest problem with having youth group on Sunday Night regularly - well except for homework. The Super bowl is too big to ignore, and too insignificant to make it amazing. So youth group is always in this strange grey area.
Fortunately, Superbowl fell on house group night so kids planned to meet in each others houses to mostly watch the game, hang out, and eat yummy food. Typically we host 4 house groups on Sunday nights, but for the Superbowl we narrowed it down to two groups with moderate success.
I say moderate success, but honestly they were great parties. We had good numbers at both, and the kids genuinely enjoyed the company of each other as they laughed at commercials and watched the game.
There was no curriculum for the night - no imposed devotion - just a simple hang out night. A testament to our group dynamic and the good feelings of being in a 'group' that everything worked out so well!
