The way I use the Santa intro is to either start singing the song and/or put the words on the screen and talk about how people look at God like this song. "You better watch out", "he's making a list, checking it twice", etc... Basically misconceptions of God; thinking he is just a grumpy rules-keeper. Krissy,

I'm curious to know though, how the Santa Claus is coming to town intro fit into the talk? Is it beacuse kids believe in Santa even though they can't see him, just like we belive in God, although we can't see Him? or was it that they make a wish list to Santa and he brings them what they ask for? Giver of every good and perfect gift...or that kids get excited at the thought of Santa Claus coming to town... we should also be excited because GOD came to town!? OUR town! My goal this year is to have a talk for every club- whether I'm giving the talk that week or not- I'd like to be prepared and able to 'pull a talk' out of my pocket at any time. thanks for such great ideas! I love Help for YL Leaders Now!!!

I added a poll too so we can see what others think. Dougie, the talk went pretty good. Another leader was supposed to do it but got sick and told me the day before she couldn't do it. Oh well. I went with one I did a while ago using the "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and What Kind of Hat do you think God would wear illustration. I can post it if anyone is interested.

Even if every single kid in your club does believe in God, they may not know why. Giving them ammunition to back up their beliefs is vital when their faith is challenged down the road by professors, peers, co-workers, and anybody else. If they have no teaching to think back on, it'll be hard for them to come up with something to defend themselves in their faith. There is no doubt that somewhere down the line they will be challenged and it is important that they can stand strong.
