A schoool lunchtime group I know takes hot chips along each week - it's called Hot Chips and Jesus. I disagree with Michelle's point. For teenagers, parents aren't going to be an issue with attendance. If the teen goes along and feels awkward, they're not going to come back. If there is no awkwardness present, they're much more likely to take the Gospel in. Besides, teens run around so much, any energy from the junk food is used up really fast. All youth groups I've attended did more running around than sitting still. Hi,

Pototoes with fillings are another great supper. great idea to have a roster with the kids taking stuff, I know mine love Sushi and other healthy things and even usually gravitate to these when given the opportunity.

I was referring to non-Xian mothers I know. I'd still be ticked off, but I'd just encourage the leader to provide more sensible food options, or send some with the kids. None taken.

I'm happy they are going to church and i know i can always send snacks as in dips and bread or something. i am easygoing but care much more for their spiritual than the occasional junk food.

And knowing some of the mums I've met, it could be a big hindrance to them letting their kids (or teenagers) attend a youth group or small group - and in these "obesity epidemic" hysterical times, I reckon that could be the case more and more. 3) good! 4) sure, I'll send you an invoice :P 1) good!

No. It is not. Food might be, but I'd be pretty ticked off if you were feeding my kids junk. “Junk food is essential”.
