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 go...
Every Super Bowl Sunday for the last 4 years, Young Life leaders and kids from around the area all gather at Bay's Memorial field for a friendly, relational game of football. The rules are simple... run hard, get open, hit hard (unless you want to declare only two hand touch) and win! The year Tony Alexander's team and Alex Meyer's team squared off for the showdown of showdowns. Although the teams were random and not just Lorain County vs. Cleveland West, the play was real. Cale LaRiccia (all time QB this year due to a recent surgery) threw for 19 touchdowns to Alex's teams scant 17 touchdowns. Players ages ranged from 16- 51, but many of the old guys still got it! Our leaders play football just like they follow Jesus. They pursue, they tackle, they huddle, they are open and available, they catch, and most importantly, they stick around after the play. Kids around Cleveland know these characteristics to be true of their Young Life le...
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 d...
