Birthday Club

This past Wednesday High Rollers had Birthday Club. Two of our leaders made 70 cupcakes to help celebrate everyone's birthdays. What a special surprise!





Blue Gnu

Just a couple weeks ago we played a game we call "Blu Gnu." How this works is we all show up to the mall. From there everyone is divided up into teams and are given the search sheet. On that sheet are who they are looking for. For example this year they had to find a squirrel, a pig, a cow, a surfer, a lifeguard, a mummy, and several others. Lastly they also have to find the Blu Gnu. The Blu Gnu is someone who they have never met. They are wearing something blue that represents the Blu Gnu but they dont know what they blue item is so they have to ask anyone wearing blue if they are the Blu Gnu. For our friends in Capernaum we had the Blu Gnu wear out blue graduation shirt from last year. The game was a huge success and with over 100 people playing, we basically took over the mall. We had some friends from Mountain View Church help us out with being our characters in the mall.
We ended the night by having some ice cream cones from Ruby's. Thanks Ruby's!!!












Mega Club

On April 25th we brought both clubs together for a Rocking Mega Club. It truly was a rocking club! We had a full house with a full band playing music, a huge mixer, program, an upfront game, and lastly even a talk. It was a super fun night. As part of the night we had a Glow Stick Dance Party which is pictured below. Our Capernaum friends loved the night and and for the leaders it was another successful super fun club!

Merging Together

Hey Everyone,

We have some exciting news.....OC Capernaum is merging with South County Young Life!!

South County YL is a typical YL area that is working in the same schools and areas we are. The decision was made over the last 6 months. 

The main reason for merging was to reach more kids to introduce them to Jesus. 

Nothing will be changing as far as the day to day operations for High Rollers and Capernaum Beyond. The changes will come more with administration. Your tax receipts will now say "South County" instead of OC Capernaum. I am still the Area Director and Rachel is still on staff as well. I will be the overall Area Director for South County. Our new area now consists of everything from Lake Forest/ El Toro Area south to San Clemente and parts of San Juan Capistrano.

We are all very excited for this change and this means we will be able to introduce even more students to Jesus Christ.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.

My email is also changing to SouthCountyYL@gmail.com so please make the adjustments in your contacts.

Thanks for partnering with us in Young Life!
