Hi Parents!

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! I wanted to send you the fall schedule for the upcoming school year since it is finished! I figured getting it out to you earlier would serve you better! This is a rather long email that does have A LOT of information as well opportunities to host a few events, as well as volunteer to bring meals. I did also attach a printable copy of the schedule for your convenience, as well as a copy of the YMCA waiver that does need to be filled out by a parent and turned in to the YMCA on the night of the first club. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS THE SCHEDULE ON TO ANYONE WHO HAS A CHILD IN OR ENTERING MIDDLE SCHOOL THIS FALL! ALL ARE WELCOME!

A few quick explanations :

CLUB: "a party with a purpose"- we play games (some that are extremely organized, some that don't seem to be but are that way for a reason), sing songs, kids laugh at the leaders, a short message from the heart of a different leader each week about who Jesus is and what He has done for them, and in their lives, and then some context conversation before they head back off to you!

CAMPAIGNERS: "a Bible study"- again we play a few games to warm the kids up, and continue the conversation we had at club the week before, but this time we go a little deeper. Ask more meaningful questions, and learn together with our friends about Jesus's love for us! To start campaigners we like to share a meal together. It is a great sense of community to enjoy food, and laugh and share stories! This could be something as easy as ordering pizzas, or cooking a meal to bring to the host house. All of the dates are listed below, Georige's mom did say she would provide the meal for the first night. The rest are up for grabs! PLEASE EMAIL ME THE DATE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE DINNER! The number in attendance will probably be 10-25, but I will have a better idea once we are up and running. If I don't have all of the dates fill up, please understand I will reach out to ask for your help.

Young & Wyld: Young Life and WyldLife club, this will happen probably twice a semester and  is a great way for both our junior high ministry and high school ministry to come together and have A HUGE PARTY!!!

It is listed in order by week, so it should be relatively easy to put on your calendars!

YoungLife High School Groups
Young Life thinks the world of high school kids. We believe that high school kids deserve to know what life can hold for them. Young Life leaders are caring adults who come sharing hope as well as fun and lasting friendships with kids. Young Life is also all about fun. From club and camp to Campaigners and other activities, teenagers will have blast laughing, trying new things and being with their friends.
  
Even though Young Life is especially for high schoolers, parents and other adults in the community are important to Young Life. Adults can support Young Life in a variety of ways — by becoming a volunteer leader or committee member, by attending a Young Life fund-raising event, by hosting Young Life or by simply telling others in the community about Young Life and its commitment to kids.  

Big Life C.C. has leaders and support team members serving YoungLife Oswego! 

WEDNESDAYS YoungLife "Club" (large group) @ 7:27 PM at Allied Bank Oswego 60543

ALL HS KIDS WELCOME!!!
