The young adult population at our church is nil. We do have about 3 or 4 of them in the church, but they rarely surface. I'm looking for good ideas for activities that both guys and girls would enjoy and wouldn't be massive in terms of execution as it's just me and my wife heading things up. We live in a heavily populated suburban area (3 malls w/in 15 minutes) and we don't have a whole lot of land at the church.
Any ideas?
Someone handed me an article today about a man named Thomas Early who was sentenced for not registering his address according to Megan's law. He's termed a 'sexual predator' for raping a quadriplegic man in a nursing home and as such is required to notify police whenever he moves.
The scary thing is that there's a picture of him in our church directory. He stopped coming to our church last year, but had been a fairly regular attender before that time.
All of that to say this: you can never be too careful about who you let get involved at your church. Some people have balked at background checks for those volunteering in ministries, but we need them for this very reason.
