Pig Roast 2014!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Pig Roast and made it a great time!

We had a big pig, a great band and such a terrific time hearing how God is using Young Life in Goochland!

Hello Goochland! I am so excited about coming into the Goochland area.  

After having just recently returned from Rockbridge with the guys and girls from Goochland High School, it is safe to say that I am beyond blown away with the opportunity that has been set before me.

I grew up not too far away in Henrico County and graduated from Deep Run High School in 2010. Over the past four years of my life, I attended Hampden-Sydney College in Farmville, Va., where I graduated with a degree in biology. During my time in college, I led Young Life for three and a half years at Randolph-Henry High School. 

After graduating from Hampden-Sydney, I proposed to the girl of my dreams, and Katie Corey and I are getting married in May of this upcoming year! Over the past couple months I have been working as a waterfront intern at Young Life's Saranac Village camp in Saranac Lake, NY.  I am very eager to return to Virginia and start my position in Goochland on the first of September!

It's time for the Goochland Young Life 5k!

Goochland YL Car Wash at Midas Short Pump on June 28

Some people say Young Life summer camp is the best week of your life!

This summer, Goochland High School and Middle School students will get a chance to test that out when they head to Young Life’s Rockbridge Camp. But some of them could really use your help to get there.

You can help out by heading over to our Goochland YL car wash on Saturday June 28 from 8-noon at Midas in Short Pump, at the corner of Pump Rd. and Broad St., 11463 W Broad St.

All the money we raise will be used to create camp scholarships. Hope to see you on Saturday!

Please help kids go to camp!

Some people say Young Life summer camp is the best week of your life!  

This summer, Goochland High and Middle School students will get a chance to test that out when they head to Young Life’s Rockbridge Camp. But some of them could really use your help in covering the cost of camp. Here are three easy ways you can make a big difference:    

• June 7 from 8-noon: Come get your car washed at Taylors' Exxon, 1924 Sandy Hook Road in Goochland.   
• June 28 from 8-noon: Get your car washed at Midas in Short Pump, at the corner of Pump Rd. and Broad St., 11463 W Broad St.
• June 14:  It's Hope Thrift Saturday! And they're devoting 100% of the day's sales to help Goochland kids.  Tell all your friends -- you can even buy a gift card!
