About This Event
You and a special person in your life are invited to “A Night of Love” YouthWorks Benefit Gala to enjoy a night of loving God, loving one another, and loving & supporting the children of North Tulsa.
This special night is a Tulsa YouthWorks Benefit Gala to help children in North Tulsa who need love in action from compassionate friends like you to succeed in school, learn how to serve and be leaders in their community, and live out their life dreams.
YouthWorks and Wesley Chapel work together as one team to reach the children struggling the most in our North Tulsa community. The children are empowered to learn how to read, identify their life dreams and plan the journey to fulfill them, serve others, eat nutritiously, learn business skills while running their pizza business and ranch, exercise on their basketball court built by the OKC Thunder, and have tons of fun … all through a 10-week Summer Dream Camp and 30-week after school program.

Love Letter
During this gala, there will be a time for each person to read a special “love letter” to each other. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Each letter starts out like this: “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Here’s all the things that I love about you …” Then your letter goes on to share all those things you love about the person you are enjoying “A Night of Love” with. Hopefully you can rhyme in your letter, but it really is the thought that counts. Just be sure to write the letter before you get there!

Sample Love Letter
During YouthWork’s March 30th “A Night of Love” Gala, we will love God, love one another, and love the children of North Tulsa. During “Love One Another,” you will get to read a love letter to the special person you brought (spouse, date, parent/child, or special friend). So make sure you start on it now, and remember to bring it this Tuesday.
Every love letter will start the same:
“Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Here’s all the things I love about you:”
If you are poetic, keep the rhyme going telling the person you bring all the things you love about them. If not, just list them off.
See the love letter YouthWorks Executive Director Chris Beach wrote for his wife below. (Shhhh, she hasn’t seen it yet!)
Get started on yours today and make sure the person you bring with you knows to do the same for you!

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Here’s all the things I love about you:
My dear Anna Lara, as truth-telling is my duty,
You know the first thing I loved is your absolute beauty. From the moment I met you, you were stunning to my eyes, How can someone be so gorgeous and also so wise? Yes, second is your wisdom which for sure comes from above, How you figure things out so fast I will always love. But there is so much about you that I totally adore, That makes me want to keep learning about you all that much more. You invest in our children, always thinking about their dreams, Taking them to meet astronauts and military and joining sports teams. And even on Christmas eve I see those wheels turning in your head, All the kids’ stockings must be perfect or you can’t go to bed. And it is no secret that you live to plan our next family vacation, Going to the beach, to Branson, or traveling the nation. Everyone loves you and wants to be with you wherever you are, Whether at our house, the church or every time you get in the car. You have a magnetism that makes people feel like they belong, Perhaps because you are so caring, so thoughtful, and so strong. |
But for me personally, I notice how you sacrifice for me even with my quirks,
You support my dreams and stand beside me even when our plans just don’t work. You vowed for richer or poorer, through sickness and health, and for better or worse, And at times we’ve had no funds and through cancer you were my nurse. Plus through 12 years of seminary, 2 pregnancies, and 24 kids in our house, You have for sure proven you are the absolute best spouse. But even above all that I have shared, there’s much more I’ve discovered: You are deep, you are cultured, and your dreams are always to help and serve others. Thank you for being you, nothing less and nothing more, Because I love everything about you, all the way to your core. I will always love you, admire you and be grateful for all that you do, You are my gift from God, and on earth there is no one I love more than I love you. |
