August, the time when the Staples commercial states: “It’s the most wonderful time
of the year!” At YFC, it truly is!
CIY Move was AMAZING! Five students had God move in a significant way for their lives. We learned a lot – and are
now passionate - about Christian persecution. Our catch phrase from the conference “Everybody wants to shine; very
few want to burn”. In addition, these students have a global perspective on ministering to others. One call-to-action the
students have committed to is raising money to provide water for Zambia, a nation wrecked primarily due to a lack of
clean water. Students are working on Macomb’s Got Talent as a fun fundraiser to help. Watch for details.
Be sure to come to the Open House. We have had some amazing renovations –
we have started calling the garage “The Cottage” because it looks so nice… and
come check out our new human game boards! PLUS, we will be hosting the
People’s Choice Cookie Tasteoff! Be sure to come taste the yummies and vote for
the best!
Our big news is the launching of Campus Life Senior High – launching September
12th , running Monday nights 7-9pm! All the fun the Junior High kids have been
having – now expands to high schoolers. If you are interested in joining this
team, please contact me.
Pizza lunch returns too! Our annual Back to School FREE Pizza lunch is August
26th. Come join the fun!
Fifth Quarter returns September 2nd. All students grades 6 and up are invited to
YFC immediately following each Bomber varsity football home game. Bonfire,
s’mores, games and fun – run from the end of the game until 11pm.
Save the date – See You at the Pole is Wednesday, Sept 28th. YFC Student President, Justin Derry, is organizing the
event – more details to follow next month.
Missions trip opportunity: Post Hurricane Katrina (yes, they still need help). Nov 3-6th (Macomb does not have
school those days). Cost is $200, $75 due Aug 15th. We need 20 people (grades 6+) – families and adults encouraged
to attend. If you are interested, please contact me.
Sadly, we say “goodbye and goodluck” to three graduated seniors heading off to school. Former YFC Student President,
Becky Scott, will be attending Trinity International, in Deerfield IL; Luke Buren will be attending Ecclesia College in
Arkansas; Chelsea Townsend will be attending WIU. We wish them well and will miss them.
