Beyond Capernaum Rocking

Our Capernaum Beyond group is rocking this year. Here are some pics from all the fun thats been happening over the last month. We have pictures from some of the games. The first shots are from a game were an Alka Selter tablet is on a leaders forehead and their teammate needs to make it disappear. The pics after that is from planning Charades. Our friends love this game. It actually gets everyone involved and is hilarious to watch. You'll also see some shots of leaders dresses up as various things, those are the skits leaders perform to help share the message and create more fun.

March Madness: Ice Palace

A few years ago OC Capernaum started doing a March Madness. During the month of March we do on and off-camups events. The first March Madness event was Ice Skating at Ice Palace. 

Ice Palace was nice enough to let us have 20 free chaperone spots! We've been so blessed by their generosity the last few years.

Some leaders and kids got out on the ice and skated around for an hour and a half, and others took advantage of the Snack Bar. It was a great night of hanging out with kids and helping them make laps around the ice!

Valentines Day With OC Capernaum

Last Wednesday, High Rollers and Capernaum Beyond met together to enjoy a Valentines day dinner. We started off the evening with making Valentines Day Cards and then spent the majority of the evening sharing a Valentines Day dinner together. 

We were blessed to be served in a number of different ways, which made the evening possible. Parents, leaders and friends of Young Life donated pasta dishes, caesar salad, garlic bread, dessert, sparkling cider, and water bottles. We were also blessed to be served by a small group of high school girls from Saddleback Church, who prepared each plate, served our meals and waited on them. 

This made the evening especially nice because it enabled leaders to share and enjoy the meal with our friends. A little something extra was given to us when a barbershop quartet happened to be at the church and volunteered to sing a few numbers for us! It was quite the treat. 

And what would Valentines day be without a few smooth lines? At the end of our evening, a few of our fancy friends shared their best pick-up lines with the rest of the group. We were thrilled the evening went so well and were blessed to have so many people willing to help make the night happen!

Blu Gnu 2012

We have another club that is quickly becoming a hit. It's called Blu Gnu! What is Blu Gnu you ask....well let me tell ya. We have friends of Young Life dress up in random costumes around the mall. Then we send the students out with a list of what they are looking for. Once found they get their signature and move on to the next person. The Blu Gnu is someone who is wearing a special blue Young Life t-shirt. Once again we had a huge turn out. I lost count after about 70 people. We were also lucky to have a small group of friends from Huntington Beach YL & South Central YL come and play also. Check out the pictures below
