Young Life's Capernaum Ministry

Living Hope financially supports Susan Rice and the ministry she leads at Young Life. The YL ministry to intellectually disabled young people is called Capernaum. Several folks at Living Hope have helped with Capernaum events in the past, and now there is opportunity for others to get involved. Perhaps the following will be of interest to individuals, families, and hopefully LH Gospel Community Groups. Please let Alan May, amay@lhchurch.com, know if you and/or your GC Group would like to participate.

“We are so excited for MCYL Day Camp!!! The dates are July 29-Aug. 1 (thats a Thursday-Sunday). Thursday, Friday and Sunday will be at our YL Center in Memphis (1177 Poplar Ave., Memphis, TN 38105) and Saturday will be at Bolin Grove Farms in Hernando, MS (our staff associate Olivia, it's her family's farm).

I would love to pass along these needs/places we are needing folks to serve alongside us. We would love to have folks come hang out and help for as much as they would like!

PRAYER NEEDS:

For our friends to sign up!!!

For MALE LEADERS ... currently we have 2 male leaders who will be with us all day Saturday and Sunday, but only part of the time Thursday and Friday

Meals/Snacks:

Thursday night dinner is covered with Chick-Fil-A

Friday - Lunch

Saturday - Lunch

Breakfast/Coffee - we would love to provide a little something for our leaders Friday and Saturday morning - Leaders will arrive between 8:15-8:30.

Snacks - Saturday we are hoping to have a snack bar like we do at camp (chips, candy, popsicles, drinks, maybe even slushes)

I am double checking on COVID guidelines around this to determine what we can serve.

Work Crew (service opportunities):

Each day there are events that will need to be set up while campers are busy with something else. Having a work crew helps free up leaders from having to leave their friends to set up the next thing ... instead they get to lead them to the next surprise!

Friday - outdoor/yard games - think ladder golf, corn hole, foursquare, etc.

Saturday -

Field Games - a series of events that the program team will lead us through, so the work crew will make sure the props are in the right places.

Water fun - field games will end with some water fun! We have 4 giant inflatable animals that spray water, there will be sponge bombs and maybe more!

Please let me know if any of these areas feel like a place the Living Hope family would like to help make happen. We are so grateful for your partnership and prayers! I am touching base with a few churches and groups to get areas covered - we are excited to provide a place for our friends to have a fabulous time while we point them to Jesus!” - Susan Rice
