Youth Group Gone Wild
That time I got in trouble at church
Across the globe, holy (and horny) Christian teens congregate weekly at churches to play organized games, flirt, sing worship songs, flirt some more, and listen to an inspiring message from the pastor.
This phenomenon is known as “youth group.”
In the 1990s, First Baptist Church (my California High Desert church) hosted youth group every Wednesday.
Our group was named “Highlife,” a reference to living life with an eye toward spiritual things and NOT a reference to smoking pot.
Youth group followed the same format each week: prayer, a “fun” group activity, another prayer, worship songs, a short sermon, a final song, and a closing prayer.
Sometimes the “fun” group activity was a skit or performance. When theatre was involved at church or at school, I was the first to volunteer.
I LOVED being onstage and making people laugh.
