A New Life For Young Life

“They call it controlled chaos,” English Teacher and Young Life sponsor Kelsie Kleinmeyer said.

This controlled chaos also has another name: Young Life. Young Life is a nondenominational Christian group that meets every Tuesday at 7:45p.m. in the homes of students.

There are many different parts to the Young Life Club. Students meet at each other’s houses and sing songs, hang out, socialize or talk about what is going on in each other’s lives.

“Young Life to me is that I get to hang out with my friends from both schools, North and Liberty,” junior Ally Laycock said.

Some students enjoy the more specific activities that take place in the club.

“We do something fun like play cards or have a bonfire,” senior Savon Hayes said. “We talk about what’s going on at school and in our personal lives and how it relates to the Bible.”

Young Life is an opportunity to get involved and make new friends at LHS.

“[My favorite part about club is] having a more in- depth relationship with people I know here at Liberty and getting to know new people from North and getting to know people here that I know of but don’t really know them,” Laycock said.

A Young Life Camp is held every summer. Last year’s camp was in Minnesota. It’s a whole week of worship and praise. Kleinmeyer

traveled with the students to camp in June.

“My favorite part was just getting to be on the bus with 36 kids on the way home knowing they had the best week of their life,” Kleinmeyer said.

The people in Young Life have a close bond because it is a nonjudgmental club. They talk about everything that goes on in their lives and they do not judge each other.

“[Everyone should] join because it really finds your way back into the faith,” Hayes said.

Kleinmeyer believes more students could benefit from the club.

“I would encourage everyone to just give it a shot,” Kleinmeyer said.
