Sizzling Summer in Macomb
We kicked off summer with a bang! We hosted lunches during finals – serving about 75 kids over two days! Then, we had a blast at the YFC Golf Outing. Attendees got to meet the Senior High Discipleship group, Roar, – and had they been needed, Campus Life Junior High teens offered to serve as well.
The first few days out of school hosted two photo scavenger hunts – one for Senior High and one for Junior High – fun times for kids and leaders! Lauren attended High Teen Camp, offering YFC teens an added place to build relationships/ Then, at Heritage Days, we hosted the Minute to Win It table and marched with nearly a dozen students with the VIBE Float (other students marched, just with other organizations).
Our Human Checker Board has been providing us with great fun. In the works are: Tic Tac Toe, 4 Square and a standard board-game board (“move 2 spaces”, etc). Gives a whole new meaning to “playing outside”.
We have more fun stuff coming up – including a trip to CIY-Move, a Christian conference being held in Roache Mo. We ask for your prayers for traveling mercies, but particularly for God ‘s presence to make a lifelong impression in these students.
This year’s YFC Student Leadership Team has had some changes and are as follows:
- Student President: Justin Derry
- YFC Student Vice President: Brandon Rossio
- Secretary: Laurie Daniels
- Team Manager: Alexis Aurelio
- Underclassman Representative: Kassi Groff
- Junior High Student President: Colton Markey
- 6th grade Class Representative: Kelcie Cawthorn
- 7th grade Class Representative: Hannah Moon
- Team Manager: Hayley Coker
Our big news is the launching of Campus Life Senior High – launching September 12th! All the fun the Junior High kids have been having – expands to MHS.
Ways to Help
As the summer programs continue, we are beginning to run low on soda , water and snacks. It would be a huge blessing for donations of such items – they can be left on the porch at anytime. (If you are interested in joining the Cookie Ministry team, please let me know.
Consider joining the Senior High Campus Life team. We run Campus Life with multiple leaders, enabling small group attention and developing relationships. If you would like to know more, please call me.
Churches, we are getting ready to develop the pizza lunch partner schedules. If you have not already joined the team, please consider doing so – rotation is about once every 8-10 weeks, providing sodas and snacks, and people to serve & love on kids.
