So Much to Be Thankful For

Image
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Students from all around NE Ohio at Fall Weekend at Camp Fitch during club We hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and we wanted to share how thankful we are! There are so many things we are thankful for in Lorain County Young Life. We wanted to spotlight just what the Lord did at our annual fundraising Banquet and our Fall Weekend trip with high school students. Banquet Recap             The 2018 Lorain County Banquet was a great success and it couldn't have happened without our great committee & sponsors. We had a room full of adults who care about young people being loved and told about the greatest news that can be told, Jesus Christ and His desire for us. We had an interest in joining our committee and our prayer team. Banquet attendees were able to meet our awesome leaders (Blog post about them coming soon!). While we still have work to do in raising our yearly budget, we were able to raise our financial goal for the evening! Thanks to

      The Holiday Season is a time to be thankful and to give. Lorain County Young Life is kicking off the Holiday Season with #GivingTuesday. #GivingTuesday has grown from what some thought was a fundraising fad to a worldwide fundraising holiday. In 2017 #GivingTuesday resulted in an estimated $274 Million for Nonprofits in the United States during the sixth annual Giving Tuesday event. Are you ready to join in on the fun  November 27th ?  Unfamiliar  with #GivingTuesday? Check out this video: What is Giving Tuesday?      Lorain County Young Life’s mission is to give every high school and middle school kid the chance to know they are loved by God, made for a purpose, and created for full life.  We know that there are thousands of teenagers across Lorain County who do not know that and MUST be given the chance to hear.  Will you help us reach those thousands?

Students are about to have the best weekend of their lives'!  Sean Michael Murphy speaking on our first weekend.      We want to thank Jack Gardner, an Avon Lake student who is on his way to being an Eagle Scout. Jack came to us and asked if he could help us build a better 9-Square so students could enjoy it at our local WyldLife(middle school) Club and at weekends like these. Jack put together a team, spent time engineer
