Great article Ron! I miss community also! Great tips on keeping the youth engaged. One thing we have been doing is continuing to meet virtually (we keep it simple- share a highlight & challenge and short devo & play a game). We recently dropped off a quaren"teen" survival kits to each student (handmade card, bag of candy mostly) with a "boredom buster" challenge in it- they had to make something from dollar store Plasticine- it was done by over half! We posted to our Instagram acct and are going to send the top three a digital prize or gift card. It was well received and even if they didn't do the contest it was a way to send love, cheer and candy!
