Josh GriffinMore PostsYouth Group Message Outline Hooks

Met a youth worker Chris from Authentic Youth at the Fantastical Conference – we were talking about the blog and he said he loved the idea a while back about the message outline hooks – and brought me one of theirs, too! Taffy (our student worship pastor at Saddleback) and I have had a blast meeting so many great youth workers this week. How cool!

Josh GriffinMore PostsFree Student Resources from Our Fantastical Workshop

Taffy and I promised all of the youth workers in our track at David Crowder’s Fantastical Conference a few forms and graphics for them to download. Here you go!

1) get the CRUD form. This is the document we use for students in bands. Could be super valuable to you! CRUD stands for Commitments, Requirements, Understandings and Dress Code. Thanks to Taffy over at RiceandWorship.com for the freebie.

2) here are some links to graphics and videos that may help you with the worship (in music):
