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 :)
