Interesting to see what the youth ministry is about at this church. Worth checking out.

Walt Mueller posted an excellent piece on CPYU’s website… Walking through the mall with my wife can be dangerous. This time, her elbow in my side—accompanied by the admonition to “keep walking and looking straight ahead”—was justified. Lisa’s move into the preventive mode was almost reflexive.

Now, don’t go thinking that I am suggesting this is a comment about your ministry… CPYU: As you reflect on your church youth group experience, what are some things you wish your youth group would have done more of to prepare you for college?
