Here are a few things we did:
1. Focused on as few poems, ballads, internet stories as possible - the kids get enough of that at their graduations, bac services, etc. "Congratulations, we are very proud of you and we will continue to support you as you move into the next phase of your life. Please come back, visit with us and help us continue the momentum in this ministry that you have helped build."
2. Gave them all a gift and a CD with the presentation in #4 below.
3. Took them and their parents out to eat - free food is always a good thing for a student.
4. Did a powerpoint set to music - not too long to bore the audience - but long enough to include a bunch of pictures of the graduates doing stuff at church and with the youth group over their years there...funnier the better, had a baby picture of each.
5. They really liked the free food and CD.

Thanks Fezzik,
We are doing #4 and I am taking them to a Braves game/Varsity/Ga Aquarium
I agree with boring them with poems and stuff.

have em come up to the front, give them a bible, and then have them go sit down.
