During the Month of June, we’re going to not only have a fundraiser for the congregation called Be The Change, where members can drop change in for our Mission Trip in July (Be the Change in a Youth’s life this summer), but a Bring a Friend to Church program. But we’ve been looking at all the books of the Bible Paul wrote where he is literally telling towns “How to Church”. So “How we Youth”.  So throughout the entire month of June where we hopefully be introducing new people into our group, what do we do, what we believe, how its a safe place, a place to belong etc. So the last Sunday of the Month, I want to do a LIVE, in person, play about how Paul came to be. Our kids really get a lot out of the Passion Play every summer at Camp. So I think an impactful new experience like this will get them to look up from their phones, and realize that if Paul can be saved, there’s hope for all.

Supplies: Written Script, congregation members turned actors, stage, props etc. But it’s an unusually cheap idea.
