It is so important during these years to keep your home teen friendly. This probably is not the time to buy new carpet or fine furniture. The home needs to be a place where teens will relax and have fun. We often had 50 teen-agers in our small home after Sunday night service. Teens love pizza, popcorn or cookies.
Teens also love to be bunched up and crowded.
Yet, they are joyous memories. As a youth, I attended a small Assemblies of God church. There was no youth pastor. When the teens are all at your house you never have to worry about where your teens are. Lesson 5 Youth camps, choir camps and other special camps are an important element of keeping teens in church.
