Fall Weekend

FALL WEEKEND IS HERE!



     This weekend, Nov. 16th-18th, Lorain County Young Life will be heading to Camp Fitch for Fall Weekend! This weekend will have over 330 high school students from around the North Coast Region! We will be taking just over 30 people from Lorain County to join in the fun and hear about the greatest news ever told. The bus will be leaving tonight from BJ's Wholesale in Avon at 8PM. Some students will also be coming separately after play-offs and other sports obligations. If your students want to come, it's not too late! Students are about to have the best weekend of their lives'!

     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 engineering, and fundraising everything needed to help us have this great game available for students. Thank you so much to Jack and his parents for all the hard work and time they put into this project.

Prayer Requests:
  • Please pray for safe travels for our Fall Weekend trip and no injuries
  • Pray students would be impacted greatly by the messages shared this weekend

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

YL LoCo Virtual Trivia Night Recap

     A stay at home order can't stop us from keeping the party with a purpose happening. We were originally going to host a trivia night fundraiser at Melt in Avon but things have obviously changed. In light of that we had to get creative and innovate a new way to keep the party going.      This past Saturday, May 9th, we took our Trivia Night to Zoom for a fun night together while we are safely distanced. We want to thank everyone who could hop in the Zoom meeting and play with their friends and family, wherever they were. We are so thankful for the funds raised to allow LoCo Young Life to continue to care for and come alongside teenagers.      We had 88 big brains come out for a winner take all trivia brawl. Of course in Young Life it can't be so simple so at some point we had teams sprinting around their homes for a scavenger hunt to earn points for their teams. Hearts were racing! The winning team was "Scott's Tots," but everyone did a really great job.
