7 Days

I wanted to take some time to update you on some changes behind the scenes of Lee's Summit Young Life.  I am glad to announce that I am staying on YL staff in LS, but moving to a part time position.  I will be working 15-20 hours a week running LS YL.  We also have the privilege of adding Joe Chenoweth to our team.  Joe is a YL Area Developer and will be working with LS YL about 32 hours each month specifically with engaging adults and LIFE/LEAD teams and fundraising development.  We believe this is what is best to sustain and grow LS YL.  Our goal is to have a ministry that continues to reach high school kids in LS through contact work, club, campaigners, camp, and relationships.

Our L.I.F.E. teams and the L.E.A.D. team are being built and up and running.  We are pleased by the support of the adults in the LS community that want to serve alongside us in this ministry.  If you want to be a part of a L.I.F.E. team or the executive L.E.A.D. team it isn't too late to join in.   Check out this link and fill out the contact form.  http://supportlsyl.weebly.com/

We were blessed to have a donor give a matching gift up to $3,000.  We are so close to meeting our goal!  We only have $700 left to raise to meet this match.  We have until the end of September.  7 days to raise $700 to support and sustain LS YL!  Would you be willing to give to this ministry?

Our 1st YL Club is tonight and we are so excited.  We are expecting so many students.  God is good and we are honored to earn the right to be heard, listen, speak truth, and love students.  Thank you for taking time to see how what is happening behind the scenes of LS YL.  If you have any questions about YL events, how to serve, our budget, or would like to meet with Joe or myself (Tracee) do not hesitate to contact me at traceecobb@gmail.com. 

YL Update- Muckfest

Last night we had our annual Muckfest.  It is our epic food and muck war.  Let me tell you it was incredible.  We had our biggest turn out yet, over 200 students.  Do you know what the best part about Muckfest is?  That LS YL's goal with Muckfest is:  For students to have fun and get to be kids.  How often do we want high school students to act as an adult, be responsible, have manners, work, get a certain test score, GPA, or award?  Last night, we threw all that out the window and threw oatmeal, food, and slime at one another.  It was a beautiful sight watching kids be kids and experience freedom. 

Over 200 students at MUCKFEST 2013

Kids being kids.

Our Fall YL Calendar is full of opportunities for high school students to know freedom and be a part of the YL family.  Please see and share our link http://lsyl.weebly.com/ to stay up to date on Club and special events.  In addition to that we offer small groups- called campaigners.  Each group is lead by a volunteer YL leader and organized by grade and school.  If you would like more info on that please email me at:  traceecobb@gmail.com.
