Younglife is a high school outreach ministry. Every week Younglife leaders spend hours contacting high schoolers and spending time hanging out with them. We go to lunch, soccer games, track practice, chorus concerts and anything else we can to get to see the kids. Every Monday the leaders hold an event called club. Club is when all high school kids come to a meeting place and the leaders plan things for them to do. We act out characters, play games and sing songs, and one of the leaders shares at the end. (I know it sounds a little lame, but we always tell the kids they have to try it before they knock it.)
At the end of the year all the leaders work together for the final club. We combine all the characters from all the clubs to make a big musical called the opera. Last Monday Gatewood Younglife held their annual Opera. Seven of the leaders wrote out their own script, gathered costumes, and rehearsed the opera over and over. We were all really excited to get to share all the opera with the kids, but we had to use a few PR techniques to get the word out...
Now a little clip from the Opera. Enjoy...
