We’re scheduled for the Cross Talk this coming week in club. It ended up fittingly falling on Easter week. Last night when going over the talk with another leader we kicked around the idea of starting her talk with the trailer for ‘Hunger Games.’ In the gripping 2.5 minute trailer (below) we get a preview of the sacrificial…

Tracee Cobb, an Area Director for YL in Missouri, shared this video below on the Young Life Leader Facebook Page this week. It’s a helpful way to let kids know what they missed at club the previous week and to promote next week’s club. Thanks for the idea Tracee!

I’m not sure who the genius is that made this video below, but I just took off my hat, stood beside my computer and saluted you. The people in Bruegger’s Bagels are now staring at me, but it’s worth it. Whoever you are, well done. I just saw that below the YouTube video it says it was made…

Last week we had club at a sophomore gal’s house. I had met her brother Evan a few years ago. He’s a senior who I see around school and sometimes at Chick-fil-a, where we hold our weekly morning campaigners, but he’s never come to club. When I saw him come in the house a few minutes before the…

*The Contest Below has been extended to April 15th. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what song (other than ‘Party Rock’ or ‘Tonight, Tonight’) to play as the doors open for club to begin each week. Below is a video you can use (as video or even just audio) as everyone enters your club room. And here’sFour More…
Kate Nelson recently shared this idea from their club. They created a poster board bus and every time someone signs up for summer camp, their picture gets added. Don’t start this until you have at least a handful of signups as it will backfire and kids will think no one is going, so they won’t go. Once you…

This week, on Tuesday March 6th, Oreo cookies turn 100 years old. I know, its hard to believe, they still look so young, so fresh, so organic. What better excuse do you need to bring back a few of the most classic Young Life games of all time? You could also celebrate the night by asking some parents…
