Youth Ministry Communication Idea

If you have a student that is going through a tough time, or if you have not seen them at youth group in a couple of weeks, here is something I do sometimes to let them know I am thinking about them and praying for them.

Take a candy bar and put an address label right on the front.  Put a stamp up in the corner; then flip the candy bar over and write a short message on the back with a sharpie.  Something like "I'm praying for you" or "See you Sunday at youth group." 

Then drop it in the mailbox.  It works every time.  Here is one I sent today:

It is so simple, so easy, and it means so much.  Any other creative communication ideas you have used?
