DAYTON - There is only one thing tongue depressors, cotton balls, and bouncy ball musical chairs have in common, and that is YoungLife. On Sun., Jan. 22, over 60 area teens met in the Dayton High School gymnasium for one of three 2017 Dayton/Waitsburg YoungLife All Area Clubs.
At the end of every club the leaders give a 10-20 minute talk about what is really important to them. Jesus! Cougar Henderson gave the talk, Sunday night. The high schoolers had fun playing games and teaming up in a dance off. Two more All Area Clubs will be held in March and May.

YoungLife Area Director Marne Henderson asked three teens to give her a one sentence description of the event. Responses were:
"Last night was just a place to escape. No cliques, no stress, just a group of people having fun and getting closer to God."
"Last night was a fun filled, inspiring time, where I felt no judgement and felt cared for."
"A night at YoungLife is a night well spent."
Henderson said the YoungLife vision is simple.
"We want to help our middle school and high school friends answer these three questions: 'Do I matter? Do I have purpose? Am I loved?'" Henderson said.
"We know there is a place for you to walk beside us with kids in our communities. You won't regret it one bit!" she added.
