Ilkley Baptist

Our young people's discussion meeting has limped along for a while. Last time, despite careful advertising of the meeting no one came, apart from Chris, the other leader, so it's probably sensible to draw a line under it. Discussions didn't quite work. So what do we do next? We have a Sunday Club teachers' meeting this week which will try to be creative, but I thought an idea or two might emerge here.

I'm going to try to track down a copy of Mike Yaconelli's book Contemplative Youth Ministry; I've read intriguing reviews of it and I like his book Messy Spirituality which I read in Holy Week. Joining forces with another local church is another idea. What do you think? What worked for you when you were young? What do we have that is good and attractive, and how should we share it?
