Wyldlife Halloween Club

Hello all, I hope the week is going well for you! We had a great Wyldlife club last week! It was our Halloween dress up club and the kids had a blast! The night was great with a few games and lots of laughing. 

In other Wyldlife news myself and a few other of our leaders are volunteer surf coach's at Marco Forester middle school and we had our first surf competition this past Saturday. Happy to say we placed 4th overall! and it was an amazing weekend of amazing waves and perfect weather. 

I've put a few photos up from club and a few photos from the surf contest! Hope you have a great Halloween and everyone is safe!

Capernaum Beyond - First Club of Year Two!

           Capernaum Beyond had its first club back this last Wednesday! This is the second year Capernaum Beyond club has been around for OC Capernaum. We were blessed to have many of our friends back from last year, as well as a few new students, and some students who had graduated from High Rollers. The Beyond group had a great time catching up with each other from summer and we were thrilled to be back in the swing of things.

            Most of our friends who come to Beyond Club have been around Young Life long enough to know the stories about Jesus, so this year we will be talking about how we can build a deeper relationship with Jesus. One of our fantastic leaders, Tristen, gave the club talk. She spoke out of Luke 11 and talked about how we need to guard our hearts and shield our eyes from the things Christ wouldn’t want us to experience. This is such a prevalent topic for our Beyond friends, as many of them are becoming more independent.

            After we Club Talk we broke into small groups to discuss the Club Talk. This year, rather than just talk during our small group time, we are writing journals also. We decided to have our friends journal in response to club talk and the small group questions. This allows our friends who have a harder time verbalizing their feelings express themselves by writing or drawing what they thought of the Club Talk.

            Our first club back was most definitely a success. The Beyond leaders and I are excited to see what God has in store for our club this year!

High Rollers is Back!

There was a lot of excitement and energy in the air on Wednesday evening (the night of our first capernaum club).  It was good to be back, and I think the leaders and students alike would agree with me.  I honestly don't know if our capernaum friends could have waited one more day for club to start- they had been counting down the days for quite some time now!  Leaders met at the community center at 6:30, we went over the schedule for the night, and prayed together.  Not long after, our capernaum friends began to arrive and within no time the patio of the community center was completely filled with anxiously awaiting kids.  At 7:00 on the dot we turned up the music, opened the doors, and waisted no time in getting the dance party started. We played "red-light-green-light", followed by a massive limbo line, and made sure we gave every student the chance to be involved.  About half way through the night we slowed things down and had the privilege of Mark Schaeffer leading us in some fun songs followed by a few worship songs.  We concluded the night by hearing from Dave giving a talk on Jesus being the "light" in our life.  Dave turned off all the lights and made the connection between the darkness and how there are times in our life that we may feel scared, alone, or we might be "bumping into things".  He the turned on a flashlight (which he compared to Christ's light in our life) and explained how that light helps guide us, protect us, and keeps us from "running into" problems.  The kids seem to make the connection and were very attentive and responsive to the message.  By the end of the night I heard several of my capernaum friends ask how many days until our next club.  So I'm  going to make the assumption that our first club back was a success :)

Bigger & Better

Hey there! Just shooting out an update about our first Wyldlife club of the year! 

For our first club we did a game called "Bigger or Better". The object of the game is to have 5-6 Wyldlife kids team up with 2 of their awesome leaders. After creating teams each group is given $1. From there each team sets out into the neighborhood going door to door trying to find something bigger or better to trade for their dollar. One item a team found to be bigger or better was an old door!

With all this being said we do this game for a very awesome reason. Not only is it a ton of fun, but this game creates life long memories with their leaders. Stories are told for years to come. Stories of the crazy old lady with the falcon that told us to go away! Or stories of from our leaders who were students playing this very same game. The legends live on and on.

Here's a short list of the things we where able to get that were deemed bigger or better:

front door

real electric guitar

the Wii game "rock band"

a bodyboard

lobster fishing hoop net

a refrigerator dolly

trader joes bags

a surfboard

Overall the night was a blast! Students got to experience an evening filled with energy and excitement. They got to wander the neighborhood with an adult who truly cares about them and wants to share their life with them. 

Thank You for allowing us to wander the neighborhood and have these sacred moments with our Wyldlife students!!!
