Workshop/Trainings 2008-2009

You might be a Youth Minister if . . .

You collect permission forms to go on a family vacation.
Your keys weigh more than your children.
Your office still has the hooks on the walls where the mops once hung.
You have washed every car in town but your own
Your own children have never worn anything at night except youth trip T-shirts.
Your senior pastor pays an amount in income tax equal to your salary.
You have recurring nightmares about being driven by teenagers with learners’ permits.
A sweet, little old lady tells you she is just sure that God is going to call you to the ministry some day.
You suddenly discover you are sitting in a McDonald’s without the youth group - and you like the food.
Your aunt still asks you what you are going to do when you grow up..
The only golf you have ever played is miniature golf.
You understand that going out to pick up the morning paper means gathering toilet paper.
You accidentally plan a lock-in the night of your wedding anniversary, but promise your spouse you will make it a special evening together any way.
Your only close friend outside the church is the pizza delivery guy.
When you announce to parents when the youth group will be getting back to the church, they just chuckle.
You know that "Blue Flame" is not a restaurant.
Your first question to new church members is, "Do you own a mini-van?"
You have ever been inclined to violence when someone greets you returning from youth camp with "how was your vacation?"

Thank You!!!
To all of our youth ministers
