ALL AREA CLUB!!

This past Monday we joined areas from Frisco, Plano, Richardson and McKinney at Chase Oaks Church for the LARGEST Club in the nation! Almost 700 students and leaders packed in to sing songs, do crazy rubber glove on the head competition, watch camp videos, and listen to Brian talk about how amazing it is to be part of the "in" crowd of Jesus. He told us it's not because of what we've done, but because of what HE did! Jesus took 99 of 100 steps, it's up to us to take that last 1!!

It was EPIC!! Check out the pics...

Allen YL Goes Bananas!!

Our last club for two weeks was EPIC!! All dressed in Yellow (of course, C-rex was in a full banana suit!). Brave ones bobbed for peeps and yellow gumdrops within yellow jello. We had fun with a 'musical-chair-esque' game with yellow hula hoops, sang songs (rocked out), laughed and wound down the hour watching one of our Amazing YL Leaders share her story in a video. We learned that God can turn around anything, and that we're never alone. 

At the end of the night, all walked out to our AWESOME committee who had prepared a 50ft!! banana split with all the fixin's just for us!

We're takin' a break for spring break, but then we'll be representin' at the ALL AREA CLUB at Chase Oaks Church in Plano on Monday, March 23rd!!

OH and did I mention there are only 3 SPOTS left for YL Camp this summer (of 150!)!?! 

Check out the pics from club...

 

Singled Out Club/Camp Sign-Up Night!!

We opened the doors early to over 100 students who signed up for camp!! Just a few spots left for the best week of our lives at Frontier Ranch, CO this summer!!

Two McKinney YL students graciously volunteered to join us for our version of the old MTV hit game show, "singled out". The clubhouse erupted watching girls 'kung-fu fighting' and singing "I'm a little teapot" with marshmallow filled mouths and guys guessing break-dancing and singing old love ballads.

At the end of the night, the winners were chosen and got to go out on a date immediately after club with the Mckinney students to...McDonalds!...being videoed the entire time!

Come back Monday to see the video and to save your spot for camp!!

PS. Our Flower Sale Camp Fundraiser has begun! For more info, email allenyounglife@gmail.com or call Chris T. at 214-364-5800!!

CRUNK CLUB!!

We relayed with pots, pans and wooden spoons to "name that hip-hop/rap song". We made marshmallow goo and candy grills. We had a 'old school' dance off with our leaders. Everyone dressed up in their best crunkalicious gear!

It was awesome (and hilarious) and the night was wrapped up with Michelle (leader) sharing her story through a video. She showed us that God can use our 'mess' and turn it into His 'message'!

CLUB 2/2/09

Club was awesome last night! A room full of students split into teams for the balloon stomp game (note to self: water bombs are extremely difficult to blow up!) then watched as six volunteers bashed "whats under the box?" with a baseball bat. Little did they know Phatt Matt was wearing a helmet under the 4th box! Their reactions were hilarious, but the greatest was from the crowd when the last player swung his hardest knocking the helmet from the table as red jelly erupted from under the tablecloth! (The helmet was no longer filled with Matt, but a soccer ball! HA!)

We then watched a video from 'the Hills' of Allen as two girls' drama unfolded about signing up for camp. We sang songs as the whole group locked arms and swayed right and left. We heard Chris T.'s famous song he wrote, "The Eagle Song" (wwwrrrrraaaaak!) and heard "Boom - Roasted" throughout the night! Then we watched an 'iamsecond' video of Josh Hamilton - amazing. We introduced our leaders to the room and listened to C-Rex tell us more about life's adventure with Christ.

It seriously is the "Best Hour of the Week" every week!! Be there next week for

CRUNK CLUB

1st Club of 2009!

We met this past Monday night at the Harvest Clubhouse with almost 150 students and almost 20 leaders! Our 'Dallas-style snowball fight' was a huge success, even with the added twist of the soggy and sometimes rock-hard flour bombs. It was hilarious!
Next we had 6 volunteer girls set to walk across our 'hermit crab walk' (15 hermit crabs on a sheet). We brought them in one by one, blindfolded, for the task. What they didn't know is that the hermit crabs were switched with fortune cookies! It was hilarious to see their reaction as the whole club roared and laughed at each "crunch"!
We saw a video about all the insane fun that will take place at Frontier Ranch this summer and of course enjoyed the music from the band.

Chris T. talked about only having one shot at life, and how to make it an adventure. Ford Tikson and Shelby Turner talked about their amazing experiences at camp.
It was awesome! What a great way to get the semester started!!
