I was thinking about this earlier and thought it might be fun to come up with a list of things that should be banned from youth ministry.

1. Sweatpants with words written across the butt.
2. Gossip and rumors.
3. Farts during a serious lesson (both loud and silent!).
4. Lock-ins.
5. Random donations that make my office look like a thrift shop.
6. Fundraisers.
7. P.D.A.
8. Mountain Dew and red Kool-aid for Jr. Highers.
9. “We’ve always done it this way…”
10. Smelly broken couches from the ’60s.

What other ideas do you have to add to this list? :)
