Ladera Eats the Menu

When WyldLife takes over McDonalds


Sunday night we had our first Club of the year at Ladera Ranch WyldLife! We did an event called "Eat the Menu" at McDonalds. It was a huge success! About 40 kids showed up ready to party, and a disgusting amount of McDonalds was consumed in a frighteningly short amount of time!

It is amazing how powerful laughter can be, and that is one of our biggest tools in WyldLife. We aim to give these kids a place where they can be the messy middle school kids they really are... and be with caring adults in that place. By giving kids a place where they can laugh, have a blast, play games they haven't ever played, and go nuts, we earn the right to enter into their lives and bring the love of Jesus with us. 

Club is about building friendships with kids. It is about loving kids where they are at, not asking them to change in order to earn our love. In WyldLife we set out to love and care for kids in the name of Jesus no matter what their response to Jesus is. We pray that every kid comes to meet Jesus, see how truly wonderful he is, and begin a life-long growing relationship with him... but, if that never happens, we aim to love and care for them just the same.

We will be having Club on the following dates this semester: Nov 2, Nov 16, and Dec 7. Club will be on these Sunday nights from 6:30-8. We are still working on locking down a location (hopefully a clubhouse) and will pass that information along as soon as we are set.
