The Hangover

Last night we had our first YL Club of the semester.  I am currently nursing what I call a "YL Club hangover," and I wouldn't have it any other way.  You see it feels good to go all in- and give 110%.  I love that my YL Club leader team goes BIG, loves well, has crazy energy and huge smiles, includes all, isn't afraid to sing loud, dance crazy, or dress up in weird outfits.  I love that Wednesday my leader team and I are still smiling, tired with bags under our eyes and mild headaches, but joy overflowing.  It is good to be a part of what GOD is doing in LS.  We are overflowing with joy because we got to see 156 high school students run through our club doors, dance, sing, feel accepted, laugh, and listen to truth of who Jesus is.  We are often amazed at the love God has for us to let us be a part of something so beautiful.  So club hangover day is here and we are grateful.

Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.

Muckfest 2014

Muckfest 2014

Over 200 students @ Muckfest 2014

MVP's here- the Muckiest

LSN Broncos representing

Having a blast. 
We did it again.  Over 200 students and our volunteers came out to get mucky.  Thanks to all our parents, Lead team, and YL leaders for making this event epic.  The goal was accomplished...to have fun!  Kids made memories and bonded over oatmeal, slime, flour, whipped cream, and games.  We just want to let kids know that YL is a safe place to come as you are, be a kid, have fun, make memories, and hear truth about who Jesus is.  The only downside to Muckfest is I don't think any of us will be eating oatmeal anytime soon.  :)

Join us at CLUB.  See our calendar of events:

You Know What's Cool?

I was laying in bed trying to wind down and I thought man... "You know what is cool?"  And I began to name thing after thing about what God is doing. 

1. The Bronco's won their HC game this weekend. 
2.  7 YL leaders were there cheering on students, meeting students celebrating beside students.
3.  The HC court was introduced as they walked across the field and student after student share YL as one of the things they are involved in.  
4.  Did I say the Broncos WON??!!!
HC Game

5.  We had 4 weeks of Coed Campaigners (small groups) and it was amazing. 
6.  We are launching a new thing called CREW for our high school senior girls to serve.  
7.  We are starting our first ever YL Mom's Bible Study.  What?!!  I love when God directs us and we think, wow- how have we never thought of this?  It is for any Mom... Mom's of YL alumni, current YL kids, or even just interested ladies who are looking for more.  See picture below. 

  
YL Mom's Study- All women are welcome.... Mom's, grandmas, Aunts, friends.
8.  Our prayer team is inviting more students in to receive prayer by having a "prayer box" at Club where the can write their prayer request with name and number or anonymously.  And the prayer team will pray for them that week and an encouraging text. 
9.  Our LEAD team and LIFE team are growing and giving back!
