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.

First Club

Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
Psalm 115:1

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.
