The Narrator Skit is a simple skit that has little set up time, little preparation, and can have up to weeks of clean-up depending on the narrator. The general idea is having a main person, usually with a cool voice, as the narrator. Their job is to be the only person to speak throughout the skit and tell everyone else what to do.
Trimming The Fat – 5 Pointers in Planning for Youth Ministers
As I start my new ministry I have been training myself to think about ways I can best equip the youth ministers and volunteers from around the Diocese.

Setting Up Online Event Registrations For Youth Ministry Events
I have put on well over 100 events in my life that required youth to turn in registration forms and often payments.

Arcade Cowboy Youth Ministry Skit
This is a youth ministry skit that really has no major theme and can be used just for fun. It has been a hit every time we use it and those who have seen it several times still seem to find it funny.

Youth Group Fundraiser – The JAIL!
This youth group fundraiser has been the most profitable and most consistent fundraiser that we did at our parish. It is also a great fundraiser that involves both youth and adults. Some of the elders in the parish were not necessarily to fond of it, but that never stopped us from doing it. The concept [...]
Coke Relay #1
We have done tons of different versions of coke relays, but this is definitely the one that has stuck out as the best. This youth group relay is extremely messy but something the youth will definitely remember. Give each group a 6 pack or 12 pack of coke and a pen. Have a pitcher or [...]
Stack-O-Cups Relay
Supplies Needed – Lots of Plastic Cups. 15-20 of one color per team and one of another color per team. This is a quick and easy youth ministry game that can be used as a relay or if you have a smaller group can be done with everyone against everyone. I actually got this idea [...]
Bonkers – Best Youth Camp Game Ever!
