YL Muckfest 2012

Lee's Summit YL had our annual Muckfest (food fight) to kick off our Fall Semester of YL.

It is amazing to be with high school students and provide a place for them to be kids. What high school student doesn't crave to be crazy, throw oatmeal, jello, paint, and flour at one another? What high school student doesn't want to have fun, be free, and be accepted? We are simply earning the right to be heard. Young life leaders taking oatmeal to the face and getting messy with kids is meeting students where they are at. Isn't that what Christ offers? Doesn't He come to us and meet us there? YL is doing that for LS students and maybe you thought it was just about throwing oatmeal... it's about so much more! God bless the teenagers of LS!

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.
