Totally Catholic Youth Ministers Lounge

Are you in youth ministry and you've had it with crazed parents? Rollin' your eyes at the pastoral council? Tired of administration work? Love youth? Love the Church? Appalled at parish politics? Looking for some good games? For a creative ways to teach a lesson for Religious Ed? Just need a place to veg out and say "phew! Someone outside of the parish to talk to!"? Grab y'r Starbucks, turn the computer away from the staff's eyes, grab a seat on a donated dusty couch and let it all go.

Good Catechetical Resources

The last post got me thinking about this next question.

We confirm in 10th grade, and now we have an expanding 11th and 12th grade Bible Study. We need to break up the class because it is loosing it's intimate charm, so we have decided to do a Faith Study. Many of the kids are interested in this because so many of their friends are not Catholic.

The trouble is that I find many of the catechetical resources either to bookish and not user friendly (esp to a teen) but excellent in content, or user friendly and quite teen friendly, but maybe a little light in it's content.

Besides the LifeTeen Confirmation program (which is both user friendly and excellent in content) does anyone else have any good ideas for resources for 6th-12th grade?
