Well, That's a Wrap on Number 7!!

We finished our 7th Young Life of the year tonight! (I can't believe we've been through that many already!!) Any let me tell you, tonight was a blast! We had 31 highschoolers, 36 of us there all together! It was a full, full room! So, as a quick aside, if you know of anyone in the Sprague area that would like to open there doors to 40 high schoolers every week (I anticipate growth!) give them my number! We are looking for a new place. Anyway, back to tonight! It was such a high energy evening. We sang some great songs (You Belong with Me- Taylor Swift, Ring of Fire- Johnny Cash, and I still Haven't Found- U2) and played a very fun game, two people slap each other in the face with a hot dog and the first one to laugh (or break the hot dog) loses. I talked about the story of Nicodemus and him coming to ask Jesus questions in the night, and how we often feel like we can ask people questions, but not God. I made the point that God is big enough for us to ask him questions and even be mad at him if we need to. We played the song "Jesus, Jesus" by Noah Gunderson (I censored it in a few places) that really is just a dialogue with Jesus put to music. I think this was out best Young Life yet, energy wise, honesty wise, and relationally. We are really starting to see fruit! Thank you all so much for helping this to happen, through prayer and funds and everything else! Thanks again to the Marshall's for giving us there house for the night and for the Schaefer's for hosting us for dinner! If any of you read this and want to get involved, just give me a call and we've got plenty of roles for you! (Leaders, dinner hosts, donors, prayer partners, offering up your house, the list goes on and on!) Thanks again! -Mat
