The Night at a Glance
The evening will begin with time to reconnect — doors will open early for mingling, grabbing a treat, and taking in some throwback memories. We’ll kick things off with a welcome and a celebration of 60 years of Young Life in Central Illinois, followed by alumni stories and reflections from across the decades.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Young Life without a few surprises — expect a few Club-style throwback moments, maybe even a skit or two. A keynote message will invite us to pause and reflect on what God has done through this mission and cast vision for what’s still ahead.
We’ll close the night with dessert and open space to linger, reconnect, and celebrate what we’ve been part of together.
