Tonight we started a new unit on Proverbs with the high school youth group. We’re mostly using Youth Ministry Architects’ Spice Rack piece for this. I’ve had good experiences with YMA’s curriculum, because it’s really customizable and, on the whole, thoughtful.
Part of the introductory lesson has basic facts and trivia about the book of Proverbs, including that there are 31 chapters in the book and that a person could read through it entirely in one month by reading a chapter a day (I did this regularly in college). I hadn’t planned it, but I just sort of blurted out, “Who’s up for that? Who could read a chapter of Proverbs every day for . . . the next seven days?”
Somebody asked if I could email it to them.
“You guys don’t use email,” I answered.
“What about Facebook?” She asked. “Could you put a chapter on Facebook each day?”
That I can do.
Here’s the plan: using the new group I set up last week for our high school youth group (not the CPC Youth organization page I started last fall), I’ll either post the text of an entire chapter on the wall or message it directly to students who want it.
And only the ones who want it. I took down the names of interested students, and there are about five.
I’ll take that all day.
Anybody done anything like this? Does this strike you as a good idea or a bit of techno-flattery?
YoRocko! 
If they asked for it, it sounds like a GREAT idea.
We’re four days in, and we’ve had a little back-and-forth on some of them. Limited, but still good.
Thanks for the affirmation, John.
