Letting Kids Be Kids

Muckfest 2015

We had a blast at our annual kick-off event for LS Young Life- Muckfest. Muckfest is really just an excuse to have a giant food fight. This year we also donated canned goods to LS Social Services to help families in need. Around 100 students came armed with whipped cream and their messy clothes to have a chance to be a kid again. Over and over I find joy in providing a safe environment loaded with fun to allow kids to act their age. Students are stressed and often forced to grow up too quickly. I loved watching them run free, throw whipped cream, ramen, flour, and dance. What a night!

Our team of leaders and myself are so excited for this school year. We can't wait for students to come to club (a party with a purpose) and be a kid and hear truth. Hear and begin to process that they are known and loved by the creator of the universe!

If you know any high school kids in LS area please invite them to join us. And also look for our leaders in the midst of student sections going to where kids are.

5 C's of Young Life

Club: Club is our once a weekly event that lets kids be kids. We give kids the opportunity to be kids again by singing, dancing, and playing crazy games. Students hear a message from the Bible in terms they can understand. YL club is for everyone, no matter where they stand in their faith.

Contact Work: Where there are high school kids there are YL leaders. We believe in earning the right to be heard by building friendships with kids. We come to their turf, whether that's sporting events standing in the stands beside them or coming up to after school and grabbing a Sonic.

Campaigners: Campaigners are small groups made up of students and a leader committed to sharing their lives, struggles, and joys with one another. Student grow deeper in their faith as they explore the Bible and God's love in a life-changing way.

Camp: Young Life states...."Camp is the best week of your life." That is a proven fact. Kids get the chance to have adventure camping at resort quality facilities and share an unforgettable experience. Kids get to leave their normal routine while they hear about and process the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Church: Young Life is not the church. We desire our students to be a part of local a congregation. If our students are ready to go deeper we strongly encourage them to attend a local church.
