I know an amazing senior leader who has organized his team in a new way this semester. (Go Alex!) He decided to form three teams with his leaders. While everyone participates in the activities of each team, those on the team have specific responsibilities. It is all outlined below. What […]

I was pointed to a site that is awesome for making scripture memory cards in a nice format. This could be helpful for leadership meetings, work crew training, campaigners. Basically it will format the cards for you in a nice format. It is called Verse Card Maker from Michael Scott, […]
This year we were able to move into a bigger house (yeah recession!) that was closer to the school so that we could have club there. We had been wanting this for a long time (you can read about that here). My wife and I had talked about it even […]
This year we decided to get stickers made up for each school with club. On the stickers we had a YL logo and the school name. Surprisingly, they were very cheap to make. You can find custom one-color stickers for five to ten cents each depending on how many you […]
In our community there is a large outdoor mall that is very popular. On weekends there are typically a few bands playing outdoors and it is packed. On Monday nights they have the stage sitting there and no one using it. It made us think… we should use it! So […]
At summer camp we get to hear from some great speakers who are gifted, experienced and who have put a lot of time, prayer and study into the messages. It would be great if we could list some of the best illustrations or examples that we heard in the club […]
This year I had some club kids who love ping pong (OK table tennis technically, don’t send me angry emails). Since I’ve been in YL for a while, I’ve picked up some ping pong skills over time so I was always challenging them. But we didn’t have it at club, […]

The “This Year…” series looks back at lessons learned in the past year of YL. It will feature several posts and guest posts. Here is one from my friend Dan from St. Francisville, LA… A new thing we started doing is riding the team buses to away games. We are […]
Almost all the summer YL camps I go to have a day when you have a cabin unity competition that encourages matching cabin uniforms. For some of us, we are running around the day before camp trying to pull something together. I have an idea… Let’s make list of as […]
A lot has happened since I wrote this post. There were some fantastic comments on the post that were very thought provoking for me. I also went to Woodleaf, where my friend Dave did an excellent job proclaiming the gospel. In fact, he did something very similar to what I […]
My friend Matt Golley, an amazing artist who I’ve mentioned him before, is pioneering YL in Puerto Rico. There has never been YL in Puerto Rico! How can that be?!? This is a really well-done video about the need of the kids there, one-third of the population is under the […]
