I’m always looking for creative ways to mix up meetings and I recently heard an idea for changing up your message time called Take Five Night. Many students have things on their hearts to share, but they don’t usually have enough training to preach a full length sermon.
The idea of Take Five Night is to have four or five student leaders (or however many you choose) share for five minutes. Students really enjoy hearing from their peers and this is a great way to give your leaders a chance to speak and get some experience preaching without the responsibility of preparing and sharing a full message. These will essentially be a series of five minute devotionals and will most likely cover a variety of topics.
To add to this idea you could break up into small groups after each student speaks and discuss for a couple minutes what they spoke about. You could also purchase a bunch of Take 5 candy bars to really make a theme out of it and add some fun. Does your group do any meetings or events with interesting themes?
