Creating memories happens better when you engage in one or all five of our senses. An idea you can use…
Seeing
I was in the process of planning a youth service about how the teens are all masterpieces of God’s handiwork. I met a girl in the youth group who usually sits by herself and doesn’t talk much to anyone.
I also noticed that she was an incredible artist so I approached her wondering if she could draw someone in the service while I was teaching.
This girl came back the next week with this huge smile on her face and said she would do it and that she had already picked the person to she wanted to draw. So while I taught and also while the small groups convened, this girl drew a portrait of this other girl--and she had no idea of this. At the end of the service, she received this beautiful portrait from the artist. Both girls were blessed in a memorable way and my lesson was taught with an even better twist with this visual blessing.

Who is Brenda?
Brenda is a brave one. She stutters yet is a national speaker. She loves teaching so much she’s been a substitute teacher for over 20 years. She’s brave enough to enter any classroom at a middle school. She also simply loves teaching groups, whether they are teens or adults. You could say she was created for this, stuttering and all. She has been in youth ministry for 34 years and has no plans to “grow up” and be a real pastor. She bravely loves teenagers, especially that middle school age. She has served in her church, New Covenant Fellowship of Manassas, Virginia, since 1990 and they will probably bury her there.
