You know you are becoming an old youth worker when…
- A student fills out an info card and their date of birth is the day you graduated high school.
- You can now have a 90′s and even 00′s night for youth group.
- You open up a hymnal and now find that Lord I Lift Your Name on High has been added.
- You can’t, “Capture the Flag” due to fatigue and lack of speed.
- You thought the Disciple concert was a little loud.
- You find yourself saying, “I DON’T do lock-ins any more.”
- You go to a NYWC and Marko says – really you can just go back to your hotel room and sleep for awhile if you’d like – and you did!
- The senior pastor’s messages start making sense to you.
- The day your son or daughter enters into jr. high youth group.
