Young Life This Past Week
What a fun, crazy, busy week this has been! Monday we had a fun Young Life club! Kids dressed in their halloween costumes, we played games, and leader Matt Knox talked about having Jesus in his life.
Wednesday- Halloween, I turned 25 and took the Wyldlife kids “reverse” trick or treating. We filled up bags, walked to Clairemont Square, and handed out our candy! We trick or treated on the way back, and ended up filling the bags back up. It was a different, fun, memorable experience.
Also Wednesday, leader Matt Knox attended UC High’s lunch club with Urban Youth Collaborative leader Nate Landis. Thursday leaders Matt Knox, Jonny Sherfy, Joey Partyka, Mark Presley and I lead Madison High’s lunch Bible Club, and I did a talk on letting Jesus be your Lifeguard.
Thursday night at our Fall Banquet we celebrated what God is doing in Clairemont Young Life! We raised double the amount of money we had hoped for–Praise God– and had a great time of fun, laughter, fellowship, with guest speaker Mike Curran. Mike is an area director for Young Life in the Point Loma area. Thank you to everyone who came to this event, and thank you to Haley Montgomery for the awesome music!
Friday an old Young Life leader came to visit for the weekend- Noah Lopez. Noah was a leader from 2001-2003, and now lives in San Jose. He got to go to the Madison High School homecoming game with us on Friday night.
Saturday Noah helped our Young Life group sell hot dogs at the Preschool Carnival, which was a lot of fun. We decorated my van with window markers and streamers, bought two bottles of sparkling cider, then later picked up five Madison high students for their homecoming dinner and dance. We took them to dinner, then gave them a ride to their dance. It was so much fun and we were able to reminisce about the old days, when we were in high school.
This weekend two Young Life girls accepted Jesus as their Savior! This is why we do what we do! Stay tuned for more updates. For more pictures, see the gallery. God Bless you!

It was a very busy week for all of our volunteer leaders and the Youth Ministry Team. The Banquet was a huge success and a good time was had by all. It was great to see the Younglife and Wyldlife kids at the banquet having fun as well as having the older adults joining in. Our Youth Leaders are doing contact work with the kids at their schools through the Bible Lunch Clubs with student participation beyond expectations. What a huge success, this is what it’s all about!
Great job, Chelsea and all who work with Young Life! I had a great time at the Banquet last week and am excited to hear about how kids lives are being touched!
