YoungLife Banquet

I had on my heart to start YoungLife at our high school for awhile now and I'm super excited that as of this year we officially have YoungLife at Summer Creek High School!

We had our annual Banquet and it was a great success! We raised almost $120,000 and had a great night. We played Bingo, had a nice dinner and enjoyed a great program!The YL kids from Kingwood and Summer Creek helped all night with setup, serving and cleanup. Such a great group of kids and leaders!
This is our Area Director, Casey Prescott. He's young, passionate about YoungLife and passionate about the Lord. Excited to have him leading the program in our area. He has grown the Kingwood ministry and it's so fun every week to see pictures of so many kids at Club and Campaigners. 
This is Meghan Rue, our new leader for Summer Creek HS! Meghan has been working hard this year training leaders, meeting kids and getting YoungLife up and running. We are so thankful for her passion for ministry work and moving to Houston to serve in this role. 

It was great to hear the kids speak about the impact YoungLife has had on them! 
It was super cool that our high school Principal, Brent McDonald and his wife Angie joined us as well as head football coach Coach Harrison and his staff. The high school soccer coach, Coach Owino also came to support YoungLife. So exciting! 
Matt Forbes and Doug led the live auction and did a fabulous job! We raised $6,000 in the live auction thanks to the wonderful items that were donated and our auctioneers talent!

It was such a wonderful night! Thank you to those on YoungLife Committee who worked so hard to put this together. Thank you to everyone who hosted a table and brought friends! And thank you to everyone who showed up and donated to help keep YoungLife going strong in our area!!
