Ideas for Youth Group Names
Posted By: sbMT on 2009-01-08
In Reply to:
I'm teaching a small youth group at our church and I'm trying to come up with a good name for them besides "(Insert church names here) Youth Group". Also, our Baptist Association has an association-wide youth group and I'm trying to come up with some ideas for them too.
(I know this is church-related but I was hoping I'd get more ideas if I put it on the Gab Board)
TIA!!

Youth Group Name
My DH is a youth pastor, our Youth Group at the beach was called WAVES, which stood for Worship Active Voices Exclaiming Salvation. We moved up to the mtns of our state, and he had coined the name for our Youth Group as EXCITE, which stands for Exalting Christ in Today's Environment!!. We are still looking for a home church since we moved in Jan 2007. My DH is getting very disheartened... Good luck to your Youth Group. Oh, by the way, if you live anywhere close to Myrtle Beach, SC then consider taking your youth next year to the Big God Conference on New Year's eve/day. It is AWESOME!!
Haha! Mine spells their names wrong - and they have very common names! (nm)

BTW, we did have a discussion with the youth about
what they thought he!! would be like. My hubby and I also included our pastor just in case they had questions we didn't feel qualified to answer. Boy did we ever get some wonderful answers. I myself always imagine fire and unbearable heat. One suggested being all alone in a small dark place for eternity. One suggested that if you had an intense fear, for example spiders, you would spend eternity in a room full of them with them crawling all over your body. I think God wants us to use our imagination when we think of different things, after all he gave us the imagination to use.
How much do you tell your kids about your youth?
This question has come up a lot more lately now that my DD is 15. DS is 17. I was a bit of a "wild child" in my youth. Nothing compared to some of todays youth but I definitely did things I am not proud of. Yesterday at lunch with my DH entire family the conversation turned to when I had to choose between getting a car or going "away" to college. My said that he knew I got a car within a year of turning 16 what happened to it. I simply said I got in trouble and my father sold it. There has been a lot of stuff on the internet as well as on the Ellen show about the "meanest mother in the world" selling her son's car when she found alochol in it. Well, my father did that exact thing to me in 1984. I did quite a few other things that I really don't want to tell my kids about but I don't want to lie. I don't ever want to hear "Well Mom, you did these things and you turned out okay." I'm just not sure exactly how to respond to certain questions. Anyone have suggestions on how to handle this?
They have recruited thousands of Mexican youth

Update after doctor visit/youth council.
The doctor wants to try the Respirdal for another month and see if he gets any better, if the auditory hallucinations stop, etc. My son also gained 3 pounds in the last month. I'm not super worried about him gaining too much weight as he is an active kid but just one more thing to watch.
The youth council came up with my son's "punishment" for the theft, running away, fighting, etc. He has to write a paper. Not even a paper. He has to write 5 things that he likes about himself and 5 things he can do to improve his world. That's it. Oh wait, they also told him that he has to feed our pets without me reminding him. I've had it with the legal system. I'm making him do my own community service. They are talking this kid to death and basically teaching him that if he doesn't behave, they'll keep talking to him.
I'm at my breaking point with all the mental issues, but seriously...where is the punishment for kids. It's like the legal system over does it or doesn't do it at all. I need a nap now.
Thank you to everyone who e-mailed with concern for us. I really appreciate that there are so many strangers out there who care enough to reach out. 
With youth comes minimal life experience, minimal

Group singing
I think the group songs have been much better this year than previous years I've watched. Mostly their voices blend well and pitch has been good.
Didn't Chris sing well during his solos in the group songs? I think it was just fierce competition/tough schedule that dis him in. Either that or he just wanted to go home.
The name of the group is Heartland -
I just looked up the words to see if I could find them - I did - I cried again.
Hope they are a better group than this

Maybe a cat or dog rescue group needs help. - nm

Choosing a group
You can pick a charity by clicking on the "Add a Charity" button at the bottom of the page. On the next page, on the left side, is a box for the not-for-profits groups. If you click that you will see all the groups listed.
Or you can just type in "Pet Rescue By Judy" and use that one, LOL!
Once you have selected your group you can check how much your are helping by clicking on the "amount raised" button.
Can you imagine how much MTs can help with all the searching we do! We have the power you guys! Don't forget to shop through this site also! You can shop for Target, ebay and many others. Just click on the shop through GoodSearch and shop as usual. It really helps! You can make GoodSearch your home page too and see just how much you can help!
Thanks for all the great responses! May God bless you with many, many lines, easy reports and no ESLs this week!

Is this the same group against Gays?

Wonder what a group of men would be saying about women?
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Please don't group everyone under the assumption
that our jobs are unfulfilling. I enjoy my work and am very happy with my accounts.
Oh, and I think anyone can start a group there.
You can start an MTStars group most likely. It will advertise MTStars as an MT forum and then if people use monikers, they can say who they are, or they can just be a part of the Facebook MTStars group. I am not sure if MTStars would mind or not, so maybe we should ask the admin, but I would think the would want posters to draw their friends here. JMO. I don't want to step on any toes though. It is networking and I learn a lot from Stars.
So, Yeah, Thanks for being here MTStars...
I feel bad for the 1st group. There were
several more of them that would have made the top 12 if they have been included in this group rather than their own.
If it is the group I heard about on the news...
They are an extremely disturbed church group who protest at the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq, but get this, not against the war, but against gay people. Nutty right? They protest and yell that the soldiers are dying because God is punishing America for being too accepting of gay people. Very sick. They do this at soldiers' funerals throughout the nation, regardless of if the dead soldier is straight or gay.
I get a knot in my throat whenever I think about those poor grieving families, but Harley Davidson riders around the country have come together to form a solid line of riders between the families and the protestors.
A recently used solution against this group
was applied by Hells Angels. No joke.
The Hells Angels motorcycle group was nearby where a protest was being held and they showed up! Ran off every single one of the Westboro derelicts.
First time I've ever been in favor of Hells Angels.
Don't group all girls in that same generalization.
It is not fair. My DD as well as my nieces are all really good girls. I am not fooling myself. One niece is getting ready to leave for Liberty College becuase she wanted to attend a christian college. None of the girls dress unappropriately. They are all very good students and all but one are active in youth groups. The one that isn't has a job so that she can help out with her soon to be large college bill. Not all girls are out hunting down guys.
Oh, forgot to say females that are in a group
seem to have their periods synchronized. Just think, if all these girls got theirs at the same time, no pool for a week? Oh, I forgot, get an excuse.
I think you do want to join you're just to shy to say so - group hug? nm

There is one from the 10 Minute Solutions group.
xx
I agree totally. This group could not
compare to the first. There is only 1 more group left. I personally liked Allison (the redhead), and Kris (the guy after her), and Adam. He has been 1 of my favorites from the beginning. I also wanted to like Kai and was disappointed with his performance.
Agree with last night's group
I wasn't wowed by anyone last night really. Obviously Lil was good, and I actually did like the one girl who had been brought back... can't remember her name. I didn't think any of the guys were that great. That kid who did That's Why They Call It The Blues... that was embarassing. I find it surprising that they passed up other people for some of them that they have in the 36. Anyone, I thought week 1 was much better and even thought last week was better than this group. As far as the format, I don't like it all that much either. However, I do remember that my Clay, still my favorite then and forever (lol), ended up on the show as a wildcard.
The "Harley Group" people speak of here
Are actually the Patriot Guard Riders
http://www.patriotguard.org/
They are made up of anyone who wants to join. You don't have to ride, you can go on foot or by car.
My husband and I are riders and are really proud of all the fine people in the Patriot Guard.
They usually don't go though, unless the family requests/consents, because they don't want to cause additional grief. Instructions are to not engage troublemakers, and shield the families as much as possible.
Thank God for Patriot Guard riders!
Just got a foster dog from a local rescue group
Very sweet, but has a bad cough that's been going on for over a week. I've been asking the rescue group if I can take him in to the vet, but they keep saying no. I don't have a job, so I don't have the money to do it myself (I do have the time). I'm certain the rescue group is concerned about money, but this seems unfair to me and the dog. For all I know he could have any number of things wrong. They are telling me it's a cold, and to just wait until he's better before he goes in to be neutered.
What's the right thing to do? What should I tell the group's organizer?
Suggestions?
Thanks.
They are a largely Hispanic group though. My brother
was homeless at one point and got woken up with one chopping him up with a machete, their signature weapon. They are an extremely dangerous gang. We moved way out to get as far as we could from that stuff in a great part of town and I am seeing tags already from them.
Somehow my brother lived. He even managed to keep his arm they almost chopped off. We think it was part of an initiation.
Is there a grief support group in your town?

she is restricting him from this group; he is rebelling for this reason.

Right - he IS a minority in the group of kids he is around on a reg. basis (nm)

All very funny and cute! What a creative group of mom's!
My son wants to be a french fry this year. I had it down and was ready to make a great costume until he clarified to me that it was 1 single crinkle cut fry...now I'm lost. I'm going to the fabric/hobby store today to get ideas. I don't know how anyone is going to know what he is! lol
I was disappointed in the group last night basically
No one really grabbed me like I would like them to. Adam was okay but I am just not into him as well. The group overall had none of the zing felt with the first group. Oh, well, I think there is a brand new group next week, isn't that so and how many more groups are there?
My daughter started group counseling sm
She meets with the school psychologist once a week and other kids from her grade who all have coping issues, and they work on their social skills. She is 9. Maybe your school has a similar program? Or maybe some internet research would turn up some group counseling in your area.
Good luck to you and your son!

Looking for ~K~ names...
 Hi everyone! I am looking for a name that begins with K...Do you any of you have the perfect ~K~ name for the perfect baby girl coming to our family? Thank you all for your suggestions!!!
K names
Kara, Karaleigh, Karissa, Kaela (derivative of Kayla), Korrie...all my granddaughters
Pet's names
Siberian Husky is Spunky; Blue heeler is Blue; Cats-Kitty, Sweetie, Ginger, Turtle, Killer, Twinkie; goats-LuLu, Bonnie, Clyde, Blackie. Rest of the goats have no names and neither do the 30-somwthing chickens! BTW, kids named several of these!
You do not have to name names, you
gave the state and all a person had to do was Google about student murdered in the state and the name is there.
well, I don't like it. Names are
hurtful and unnecessary. Does he not realize he is the measure for this child as he grows up? and that everything he will learn about being a good father himself he will have learned from his own. While he needs to mind, he does not need to be made inferior doing it.
Why would you consider the names
more different??? Everything has a name.
Names for a dog...sm
My husband and I are going to be getting a new puppy within the next couple of months. I don't know if it is going to be male or a female, but we were just having a discussion about what we should end up calling him/her. We are looking for somthing origional (no "spot" or "fido" or anything like that lol). Something funny maybe, but nothing we would be embarassed to call him/her in public.
