Divide to Small Groups for Priority Discussion:

Lay out cards with the following written on them (available on YFCresource CD):
Study
Athletic Practice
Go to Youth Group
Call Boyfriend/Girlfriend
Sleep a lot
School Classes
Talk with Mom
Eat a lot
Shop
Watch TV
Feed the Dog/chores
read book
Pray
Go to Church
Go out with friends
Help a friend in trouble
Help your brother fix his bike

Have the small group put them in order from most important to least important. Note where people want to put "go to Church", etc. Also note disagreement between the group. Tell them to come up with a group consensus of priorities for the group (one order that best represents the whole group- that they all pretty much agree on).

Group leaders- when they're finished . . . ask them the reasoning behind certain decisions. If "Talk with Mom" is way down on the list- create a scenario where they reconsider its location.

Wrap Up:
Many of you have put your order of priorities together with your group. One thing I couldn't help but notice is that many of us say our priorities are one thing, yet our actions reflect something else. Some of you even were wondering if you like where your priorities are.

We would love to talk with you about what is priority in your life. If you want to talk to any of our staff, just walk up to them and say, "let's get a soda or something sometime." If you do- we'll treat you to a soda sometime after school.
