Five minutes before you&#8217;re set to leave, a driver cancels (or the corollary-three unexpected kids show up).<\/p>\n<p><strong>MURPHY&#8217;S BUSTER<\/strong>: Use a signup sheet for the trip with an RSVP deadline and make no exceptions. It sounds harsh, but this is a great way for young people to learn responsibility. Ask a responsible volunteer or group leader to coordinate your transportation needs. Then make sure you have a back-up driver ready just in case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW OF DIMINISHING GAS\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though your facilities manager swears he filled the tank yesterday, the gas gauge in the church van always reads empty when you&#8217;re ready to leave.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MURPHY&#8217;S BUSTER<\/strong>: Inspect your vehicles the day before your trip or at least one hour before the kids show up. Make sure you have a church credit card or money for gas. And have a plan in case the vehicle breaks down while on the road<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW OF FRUSTRATING PHOTOCOPIERS<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though it was repaired last week, your photocopy machine will conk out five minutes before the meeting starts-and you still need 20 copies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MURPHY&#8217;S BUSTER<\/strong>: Plan your schedule to prepare ahead of time so you can make your copies the day before the meeting<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW OF VANISHING GUEST SPEAKERS\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though you&#8217;ve covered for yourself while you&#8217;re on vacation, the guest speaker you lined up will not show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MURPHY&#8217;S BUSTER<\/strong>: Have a Plan B always ready. Tell another staff member about your plan so he or she can step in if there&#8217;s a last-minute cancellation<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW OF EMBARRASSING DAMAGE<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though you have seven cars hauling kids to the retreat, the one that gets &#8220;dinged&#8221; is the non-Christian parent&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MURPHY&#8217;S BUSTER<\/strong>: Before the trip, warn your parent volunteers about possible damage to their vehicles. Check your church&#8217;s insurance policy to see if it might cover incidental damage. And when you plan a meeting at someone&#8217;s home, ask to rearrange the meeting place to remove anything that might get damaged<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW OF INEVITABLE TARDINESS<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though you&#8217;ve screamed your departure time from the rooftops, you&#8217;ll still pull out late because someone&#8217;s late or forgot the permission slip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MURPHY&#8217;S BUSTER<\/strong>: Make sure you&#8217;re ready to leave on time. Many youth leaders model tardiness. Have a policy that you ll not wait for stragglers. Tell your group members to be on time or get left behind<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW OF EMPTY COFFERS<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though the church treasurer promised you an expense check before you leave, it&#8217;s time to go and you still don&#8217;t have it. Of&#8217; course, the treasurer isn&#8217;t home and can&#8217;t be located<\/p>\n<p><strong>MURPHY&#8217;S BUSTER<\/strong>: Ask the treasurer to give you the check in advance Even if you don&#8217;t know the exact amount, let the treasurer decide how much to give you<\/p>\n<p><em>Source Unknown<\/em><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5536\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/0004_underline1_big-300x15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"5\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativesermonideas.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-5534\" title=\"Creative Sermon Ideas ebook\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/creativesermonideas_ebook_arrow_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Get &quot;Creative Sermon Ideas&quot; eBook\" width=\"173\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Get Help on Your Youth Sermons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\"><strong><a title=\"Youth Sermon Ideas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\">Creative Sermon Ideas<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis 100 Page e-Book Includes All The Help You Need To Prepare Powerful, Life-Changing Youth Sermons That Will Turn Your Preaching Around And Make Your Youth Sit Up And Listen!
