Golly, where do I start? Young Life started at
Har-ber high school about two years ago, and it was no easy task getting it off the ground. But God has been so faithful through the whole process, and this spring semester we
finally got to launch club, one important aspect of Young Life. The fact that club is now happening absolutely blows me away. God is doing
something big at Har-ber high school, and I am so excited and so thankful that He
asks me to be a part of it. From the skits to the songs to the games to the
relationships, I know I am a part of something much bigger than myself.
The Har-ber
team was so excited to meet and bounce ideas off of each other to
plan the first Har-ber club. The love and passion everyone had was so obvious
and encouraging. We wanted to make sure that every single piece of club was great,
even the little details, knowing that this isn’t our club, but the Lord’s. When
we finally decided on the songs, the mixer, the game, and the time (7:27), I
could see the excitement in each and every person’s eyes, that we were REALLY
doing it! From the new leaders who had just been placed this past semester to
those who have seen this thing grow from the beginning, every one of us was
ready and all that talk in the past about how great planning club would be had
just become a reality.
The day of
our first club had finally arrived.We didn’t have a sound system, we had
never used this particular projector before, some of the details were still a
little hazy… But, man, did God show up. Maybe because it was our first club or
that everything went so smoothly, but it was the most memorable club I have ever been
a part of. The energy, the
atmosphere, everything about it was incredible. It’s hard to find the words to
really describe the way club made me feel. After it was all over and our young
friends had gone home, everyone on the team was exhausted. But we were so
excited and ready to do it again the next week!
