Well, these verses were printed on hand-out sheets. They were probably accurately translated, but when I get Bible verses with phrases like "I don't need to worry" blah blah blah (Not exactly what it said but that's the gist) it's a little off-putting.

Heh, LotR marathon is great! And you better not be thinking you don't qualify as a young adult...

Well...seems like lately the trend is to use that term for highschoolers. However, I was actually referring to people quite a bit older than me. There were plenty of couples with kids almost my age who I saw at all those movies. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them crashed the party. ;-) I hope so! The more the merrier.

I've been to churches where the Bible translation was modern language (NIV) but the songs were still in archaic English. I guess I prefer the songs to sound KJV-ish, but with Scripture reading I don't mind it being modern as long as it's a strict translation and not a loose one.
