That’s awesome Ben!! I’ve learned to hold every process and idea very loosely. It helps me leave room to improve/change/remove everything when it’s needed. Sometimes we’re married to doing it the way we started it and we end up loosing out.

We are in the main service during P&W then are released. We made a small change recently that has helped the connection process in a bigway. We used to go back to the youth room and go straight into the lesson and then after shoot pool, play ping pong or whatever to connect with them, but now we moved that time to before the lesson. This gives us an opportunity to make relationship with any new ones or catch up with regulars about how their week went before we try to “share the gospel” with them. Small change but huge difference.
For our format this was a huge success.

Thanks Chad!! We have a student greeting team and student leaders who are reaching out and meeting students. If they are by themselves and new we make sure someone sits with them.

I’m curious if you do anything before service starts to help them get connected. For us, that seems to be where students are the most awkward.
