Halloween, Young Life Style!

Tonight we had our Day after Halloween Young Life. I would say out of the 39 students and 7 leaders we had about 25 people dress up in their Halloween costumes! Tonight had a ton of energy, and everything seemed to flow really well! We had new leaders tonight (Ried, Ellie, and Chandra) all step up and get involved in leading club, as well as corralling high schoolers around. John Marshall and Macklin Kelly came on as The Bob Brothers again tonight and did a hilarious little skit for everyone to see and it came to a climax of for students spitting water into one another's faces for the amusement of all! I spoke on John 8 with the woman caught in adultery, and shared a video of common misperceptions about Jesus. I claimed that Jesus is a God way more concerned with working on a relationship with us than he is about meticulously following the rules. I went as far as to say that a life with Jesus is actually more fun that a life without, and it might be worth considering getting to know him more so that can be experienced. I think everyone tracked pretty well and we had some good questions afterward! It was definitely an honor to lead Young Life tonight. Sprague is such an incredible high school to be a part of with an amazing community of supporters around it! Special thanks tonight to Mike and Joy Fargo for hosting us for dinner, to Mark and Rebecca Butler for allowing us to bring 40 high schoolers into their house, and to LimeBerry Frozen Yogurt for hosting our after Young Life party and even staying open late for us! Gosh, we are blessed people here at Sprague Young Life! Thank You to all the INCREDIBLE leaders! Amanda Field, Caitlin Marshall, Chandra Baskoro, Reid Zucati, Ellie Bartlow, and Scott Wurgler! You are all wonderful! Okay, enough for tonight! Thank you all for your on going prayers and financial support that make this ministry so great! -Mat
