More from Vegas:
It is possible to spend 5 weeks of planning a car wash to make $12.34 for the youth group.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t fit 22 middle schoolers in a 15 passenger van.
Always check the Confirmation names of the students BEFORE the bishop asks them what it is.
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince were right: Parents just don’t understand.
Always check to see if the bus driver knows where he is supposed to go and has a valid drivers license.
Nothing tears a youth group apart like a pack of wild dogs.
Never get drunk at a staff social.
Ever!
The further you are from the closest hospital the more likely you are going to need to visit.
If you wear khaki pants to work, everyone else on staff will ask you, “Why are you dressed up?”
The one box that won’t make it into the back of the van for retreat will be the one that has all the supplies for small group.
First goal of every youth group activity is for no one to die.
No matter what the schedule looks like and what programming you do, 70% of the evaluations will complain about the quality of the food, ask for more free time, and ask for a longer dance.
No matter how hard you try to explain what you do, your parents are still going to wonder when you are going to get a real job.
Even with all the liability forms, crazy budgets, dysfunctional parish staffs, crazy bus drivers, and disgruntled parents, years from now there will be someone who will say that their life was different because someone like you took the time to love them. And that’s why we keep doing it.
