Communication

I learn more about Jesus and Scripture through listening to a good sermon than through any other form of communication.  But I'm the exception.  I grew up in a church tradition that placed a very high value on the sermon.  I work with students who grew up in a tradition that places the highest value on the communion and prayer.  Neither is bad or wrong, but they are different.  This presents a challenge for me, who is used to communicating the truth of God's word in a very traditional sermoneqsque format.  The question is, how can I communicate the truth of the gospel to our students in innovative, relevant ways?  I'm not advocating ending preaching, I'm just seeking to maximize the effects of the time we have with our students.  Maybe we move to a small group, discussion driven wednesday night?  Maybe something else?  What are some innovative ways to communicate the gospel to young people?
