YoungLife Tonight

Bozeman YoungLife club kicks the year off at 7:47 pm tomorrow night. At that time some 50+ kids will roll through the doors of The Rock—where we hold club. Some will know us, some won’t. Some will have been to plenty of clubs before and for some this will be their first. Some will be seniors, eager to finish high school and begin moving towards whatever dreams they have for themselves. Some will be freshman, looking around to others for cues and trying to observe all that is going on. Some will be excited. Some will be nervous. Someone might puke (it’s happened before). Someone will most likely be embarrassed by a skit in front of all their peers. We’ll laugh and joke and sing and dance. We’ll dress up like morons and do our best to make fools of ourselves. It will be club like I’ve known and loved for most of these last 3 years. But all of that doesn’t matter. What is behind all of this is a concern for Jesus and a concern for our high school friends. This grand and awesome procession is put together simply so we can get to know kids and so that we might be given the chance to earn the right to share Christ with them. Now that’s something worth getting excited about.
