Zombie Apocalypse

Even the leaders have become zombies!

The Zombie Apocalypse is upon us.  Personally, I'm not a huge Zombi fan.  I don't understand all of the hype behind this new fad.  But let me tell you, middle schoolers LOVE zombies. The night was full of eating handfuls of cold spaghetti (it look like they are eating guts, see pic below), zombie tag, fog machines, strobe lights, and as we always have at our Wyld Life event, Pie Your Leader in the Face.  Kids get to vote who they think should be pied in the face.  This week instead of whipped cream, the pie was made out of cottage cheese dyed pink, so it looked like brains.  It was disgusting, but the kids loved it. And what is Zombie tag, you ask?  Zombie tag is when you take a fog machine, fill the room with smoke, turn off the lights, turn on a strobe light, and choose one person to be a zombie (or "it").  The zombie has to walk like a zombie, groan like a zombie, and try to tag, or in this case "infect" everyone else.  When you get "infected" by the zombie, you also become a zombie, and have to infect other people.  It's quite the sight.  The night ended with Emily Simons talking to the kids about how sin can be like a virus that infects us - and can spread to every part of us, until it has completely overcome us, just as a virus turns a person into a zombie.  She discussed how sin can completely ruin us, and we don't even know it.  A person doesn't consciously realize they are no longer human, and have become a zombie.  Overall, it was a great night. Next week - Fake Injury Night.  Can't wait.
