We had the same problem, years ago.
This is how we solved it.
Get them to move to free space.
Turn off lights and get some strobes or normal club lights. (creates atmosphere and sad to say ,but todays youth hang out in clubs more than…"

Greg Moore replied to Christian Birchfield's discussion 'Youth group won't worship with music!'"Greg, you brought to mind what I observed some years ago. When we sang a yoodleboppy praise song, the youth, whom the youth pastored had corralled to sit by the window to the far front (now that I've been in the public school, I see this…"

Greg Moore replied to Christian Birchfield's discussion 'Youth group won't worship with music!'"What ever happened to the teenager who didn't care if he/she fit in?

Be sure and check out part two as well... Young men aren't necessarily drawn to long bouts of worship whereas some girls may be more inclined to enter in... I lead worship for 3…"

In what ways is it important to…"
David Loeffler replied to Christian Birchfield's discussion 'Youth group won't worship with music!'"Alot of good ideas already but I would add to these, set a time of teaching on what Worship is, I mean the fulness of it, lifestyle praying singing all that is involved and that singing is just part of it.

Paul Kent replied to Christian Birchfield's discussion 'Youth group won't worship with music!'"Don't sweat it.
