Dana Hills YL Getting Big Air

This month we took our kids to a new trampoline place called Big Air in Lake Forest. All the kids had a blast.It was a great bonding time for the leaders and kids. The dodge ball games did get a little too heated though...

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!

High Rollers Club

Last Wednesday was our first club following winter break, and I think we all agree it was good to be back!  We started the night with some hang/dance time where leaders and students were able to catch up on all the awesome things they did over break.  We played a few rounds of “Cross the river”, a classic younglife mixer, and then spiced things up with an egg toss that got really messy really fast… but that’s cool, because we love messy!   We then had Mark come up and lead us in some fast fun songs, and then slowed it down with a few worship songs.  Lastly, I gave a short club talk and then finished the night off with a time to share prayer requests.  Club was a blast, and our students are already anxiously counting down the days until next Wednesday night’s club!

Dana Hills Christmas Club

Our last club before we take a break is the Christmas Club. The kids had so much fun! It was an amazing opportunity to talk to them about what Christmas really means. It is cool to see the new kids God brings. All the kids had a blast!

1st Wyldlife Club of 2013

First club of the semester!

I hope everyone had a great holiday break, with Christmas and New Years behind us we are excited to share our first club of the second semester!

We were excited to see we had over 20 kids at club this last week! even with all the sickness and soccer practices and the craziness that is our lives our middle schoolers are making it a point to make it to club! That is soooo exciting for us as leaders and for our ministry because our kids are eager to be together, have fun , be Wild, spend some time with their leaders and most importantly hear the good new about Jesus! I've attached a few photos from some of our games from our last club. It got a little bit crazy haha, hope you enjoy!

Dana Hills Club

Hello! First semester has been going great so far. We have way more kids showing up. (around 20) Our leaders have been wonderful. They are really stepping it up this year. We are trying to focus on the relational part of this ministry, and not just show up for club. It is amazing to watch. A lot of the kids tell me it is the high light of their week. It is a blessing for us leaders to be apart of. 

This month I went to a school for kids in treatment for drug addiction. I was able to tell them my story and about Young Life. I have been meeting lots of new kids. I am eagerly praying to see what God does with us leaders. I really see Him doing something amazing.
