Sample Evening for Youth Group



The key is in your password access to the Doulos website. I will give you an idea of an evening, based upon a 90-minute session with your teens. We'll pretend that this is Ep Delta's week for Responsibilities. Let's say you start your evening at 7 p.m. and go until 8:30 p.m.
