It is always special to have our entire Richardson Area Young Life family (committee, leaders and staff) together to celebrate Christ’s birth. From incredible food to fun games and great conversation, the night is one to remember. We couldn’t begin to thank everyone that played a critical role in making the night all that it was. So we will say “Thank You” to committee and the friends of Young Life that spent countless hours making sure the details of the night were just right! It was a night like none other!

Here are a few pictures from the night:

We had a great YL club on Monday night. Lots of kids showed up despite it being the week after homecoming and a giant rain storm that hit Richardson right when club was starting!

Kate got the chance to speak on the bleeding woman on Monday night. How in that crowd of people, not many people knew her pain. But one touch from Jesus changed everything for her. Kate talked about how many of us are like that woman, trying to act like we have it all together, but most of us are struggling with hurt and pain from this world. Kate asked kids to think about where they go to when this world hurts. And are those things we run to fixing the problem?

Though this world is a broken place, there is God who loves us just as we are and wants a relationship with us! He wants to be our healer.

Next week we will be playing dodgeball at DBC! Its been such a fun semester with Berkner Young Life.

Berkner had its 3rd annual “Pajama Club” this past monday night! Kids had a blast wearing their pj’s and running around playing games and mixers. Girls from each grade battled it out to see who could crack eggs on the heads of guys using a raw fish. It was pretty hilarious. Flapjack Johnny made a special appearance throwing out pancakes to anyone who wanted them all through out club.

Last night Berkner had their Young Life kickoff meeting! Kids got together to shoepolish cars, buy this years t-shirt and talk about how we were going to make this year a year to remember! After hearing hilarious stories from people’s first club experiences, and the first time they came to Young Life, it was realized that everyone in the room got to Young Life for the first time because of a personal invite, or a friend or classmate physically bringing them. Kids were then challenged to think of who they would bring for the first club next week! There is an excitement in the air for next week! First club starts at 729pm on September 19th

We are excited for a great, fun and crazy year of Young Life. You never know what God is going to do!
