What's on YOUR Name tag?

Tonight was a good night! We had high energy, loud singing, crazy students, fun games, lots of laughter! Could you ask for anything more?! Ellie shared with us tonight (For those of you who don't yet know Ellie, you should get to know her. She's a wonderful leader who attends Corban University and she's great!) about our sin and the lengths that God went to restore our relationship with our Creator (the Cross). Ellie walked us through the Bible and helped us look at different characters. Eve (the screw up), the Thief on the Cross (Criminal) and the Jews (Messiah Killers) and helped us see that, though those are titles the world has given those people/people groups God sees us all with a different title, Loved. Ellie said that God has the name tag "Loved" for each and everyone of us who's willing to accept it. That we can throw off our old name tags, whatever they may be, and accept the ones God offers us and accept a new identity in that name. She did a great job! It was a great night! The game we played was a race to see who could get a whole straw in their mouth the fastest without using their hands. (It's WAY harder than you'd think, go ahead, give it a try!) I wish you could all join us for a Young Life some day! We, the Leaders of Sprague Young Life, are SO, SO thankful for the prayers, financial support, meals, encouraging statements, and everything else we receive from all of you! This ministry could not exist without your support. Special thanks to Rick and Teri Schaefer for hosting us for a delicious White Bean Turkey Chili dinner! And To the Butler's for hosting Young Life! And to Limeberry for being a dream come true for after Young Life hanging out! -Mat
