This week was rather slow. It snowed again so we didn't have youth group on Wednesday night because school was canceled.

Tuesday was normal staff meeting and then we did some paperwork, especially working on getting things together for the small group that I was leading. It was hard to find a time that would be able to work for all of the girls that we wanted to include in this small group. So we were trying to do as much attention drawing to this group as possible. We sent out postcards to the girls and I personally called each one of them to invite them to come.

It raised the question to me though of the business of schedules. How do you as a leader work through the many different crazy schedules of teenagers? It seems like every teenager has a list of twenty things to do with school and extracuricular activities. Which doesn't leave that much time for Church or Youth Group activities. Its a hard battle. Do you try and work with fifteen kids schedules, trying to plan something that they can all attend? Or do you set something in stone and then just see who shows up?

Personally I would opt for the second option but I am not altogether sure how this would work. I guess you would just have to take the chance that it wouldn't work for every kid. It seems like it is something though that every leader is going to deal with.
