'MERICA Club

On Sept. 29, 2014, we had Merica club. We had a pretty nice turn out- shout out to y'all!

We started club by singing the National Anthem- because why not?! And it flowed from there.

Our awesome Seniors did a cool skit for us, called the "Pass it Down" skit. Everyone loved it. Great job seniors!

At the end of club, Taylor, one of Northern's leaders, talked to us about John 5. She began by telling us a little about herself and her experience at Summer Staff at Frontier Ranch this past summer. Her job required her to go up a mountain, and then go back down the mountain. It was during this that she hurt her toe, and she thought is was broken. The man we read about in John 5 was limp and hadn't been able to walk for 38 years. Jesus asked him if he wanted to be healed, and indeed he did. The same way Taylor thought her toe was broken, we sometimes feel like we are too.

We often feel like nothing is going right for us. We feel broken, and we look to school, or sports, or our friends to find help and relief but Jesus is the only one to mend our brokenness. We have to ask ourselves if we want to be healed- and if we're willing to turn to Jesus for the healing. We'll talk more about that in deeper context club, but it is something for you guys to be thinking about before then.

A couple of things you should know:


  • As of Oct. 2, we only have about 15 spots left for fall camp at Windy Gap. We go October 17-19. If you want to go and need a camp form, click here. Make sure you give the form and your money to a leader or mail it to the Young Life office ASAP.
  • We will not be having club on Oct. 6. We are going to the Powder Puff game and will be tailgating before the game starts in the parking lot at Northern. Be there at 6! Come and cheer on your Juniors and Seniors.
Hope y'all have a great week!
