So Much to Be Thankful For

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 funds being raised through our donors and partners in the mission, Lorain County is able to sustain and increase its' impact with middle school and high school students!

Thank you to our Table Sponsors!

Fall Weekend Recap

     Shooooweeee! We just wrapped up our two Fall Weekends for the eastern part of our North Coast Region. They were a blast and we were able to take a busload of students from Lorain County with us! Our weekend had right around 350 people packed into Camp Fitch having the most amazing weekend ever. We got to play fun games together, sing songs, build relationships, and hear the speaker share about God's desire for us to be in a relationship with Him. 
     The speaker shared who Jesus is and what He did to allow us to be in a relationship with God. At the end of the weekend, 47 students stood up and proclaimed they wanted to start living in the relationship they were designed for with Jesus! Students get to go home with their leaders, get plugged into churches, and figure out walking with Jesus together. Students have found out where we are going to summer camp and are excited to get their sign-ups and deposits in!

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'!  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

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.
