High Rollers- James' Intro



Club has been a blast these past few weeks.  I’ve especially been stoked on having some new kids coming.  It’s awesome when our students invite their friends because they love coming to club so much.  This week we had James come.  I met James at Tesoro a few weeks ago and invited him to club.  I was really hoping he would come that next Wednesday, but he didn’t.  About a month passed and still no James.  So when I saw him walk in to club last week I was pumped, to say the least!  We made sure to introduce him to everyone and get him on stage for the upfront game.  He totally killed it in the pie-eating contest, and you could tell he was feeling like a million bucks with everyone cheering him on.  When the night was over he gave me a huge hug and told me he’d be back next week.  Can’t wait to see him on Wednesday!

Andrew Fordonski


This April, our area experienced one of the harder things that comes with working with people who have special needs: our friend Andrew Fordonski went to be with the Lord. He had a long battle with cancer and malfunctioning shunts, and he is finally living pain free with our Savior. The Capernaum Beyond group has been studying the Fruit of the Spirit. The week that Andrew passed we were talking about kindness and what that looks like. As an act of kindness to Fordonski family, our friends from club wrote letters to the grieving family. It is always nice to see our friends caring for others, and wonderful to see their kind hearts shine through when they know someone is in need of comfort.

Wyldlife Life Club

Club this week was one of those Clubs where us as leaders just have to sit back and thank God for getting to do what we do. Of course it was filled with funny games and raffle prizes and lots of laughter and excited conversations about our up coming trip to camp in June. 

The real reason this week was so amazing was i got to speak on what it means to have Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and that he just wants to walk with us in all that we do and be there for us no matter what. I had the pleasure of leading them in a prayer where they had the chance to except Jesus into their hearts and make a decision to follow him and love people the way he calls us to love one another! 

We had 8 kids make this life changing decision! I'm in awe of God's faithfulness, please pray for these young people and us as their leaders that we can live life along side of them and continue to follow him.

Big Air with the High Rollers

We took a week off of club for spring break, but luckily a few of our high roller friends agreed to hangout with us during their vacation time :) We were lucky enough to get 10 free passes to the Big Air trampoline park in El Toro, so we decided to make a night of it.  We started there and spent a fun filled hour jumping, playing dodgeball, slam dunking, and doing tricks in the foam pit.  By the end of our time limit we had worked up an appetite, so we headed over to in-n-out and ended the night by hanging out and eating burgers!

The boys... all jumped out.  And ready for some in-n-out.

American Idol Club

American Idol club is always the most anticipated club of the semester, and this year was no different.  Last Wednesday's club was a hit.  The performers, judges, and even the audience had a blast!! It is so fun to see our high roller friends take the stage and feel like a star. It is amazing to see their faces light up as the audience cheers them on and at the end of their performance receive a round of compliments from our leaders (impersonating the idol judges).  If you didn't make it to American Idol club this year, put it on your calendar for next year NOW and be there.  I promise you won't be disappointed!!!!
