Macomb is becoming quite the happening place. In addition to Pizza Lunches, that average 70 kids and benefit from church partnerships, we also have two bible studies running: Battlefield of the Teenage Mind and the girls only study -BABES (Beautiful, Accepted, Blessed and Eternally Significant). We have run several Fifth Quarters - tons of fun and very relational… not to mention yummy (s’mores and other great snacks).
We have been very blessed by contributions of both cookies and soda - kids can come for refreshments at no expense to YFC. This is a HUGE blessing, as the way to a teen’s heart … and sometimes even through a teen’s attitude - is through soda & cookies.
As a means of connecting directly to teen’s immediate needs, we ran a Constitution study program for the 4 days prior to the state-mandated (aka: “pass or can’t graduate”) Constitution test. As a former educator, Lauren utilized her skills at transforming studying into fun. Games like Con Pong (answering questions during ping pong) , Be The Board (whereas THEY are the pawn during a board-game-like game and Name The Con - who’s who (and their role) via the Constitution. In addition to training them, we are also praying for their success.
I look forward to you all meeting some of the great YFC students from Macomb at the Banquet. We hope to see you there!
