Hey everyone!! I apologize for this delayed post, but y’all must know about the awesome week we had at Harrisburg Invasion ‘09!!! Last Tuesday the 14th, a group of us unloaded at Harrisburg First Assembly of God to launch a week of community service and friendship evangelism. Over 10 other youth groups, 150 kids in all, gathered together for worship with the Michael Gungor Band, who was with us all week long. Every morning, we’d get bussed into various parts of the city to do everything from mulching, VBS, daycares, and soup kitchens. In the afternoons, we’d canvas the city by passing out free sodas and cards promoting the big block party that was at the end of the week at Marshall Elementary. All of this was packed with great opportunities for the kids to form relationships and have conversations with the people of the neighborhoods while demonstrating a very Christ-like character. Although it was very tiring every day, God was so good to refresh us with a good word and worship session every morning and every night. All of the kids have returned fired up for local missions. As we continue to pray for the Greece team, let’s also remember that there is much to be done right in our back yards! Please pray that the seeds we planted in the lives of these people would continue to be watered and matured.

Here are some shots from the Block Party last Saturday. It’s estimated that about 7000 people showed up to this event! It was packed with games, health fair, job fair, concerts, pony rides, you name is. All FREE!!! Many were touched with the love of Christ! Praise God!

Don’t plan anything for this Friday because you’re coming to our second Friday at Frequency, WATER WARS!!

From 7-9 we have a schedule packed with water games and contests… team prizes, slip ‘n slide, watermelon eating contests, water balloons galore, frozen t-shirts… yeah, sounds fun right??

Invite friends, wear your bathing suit (modest please!!), and get your summer on!!

Hey all!

Hannah here, back from youth camp!! If you didn’t go, you missed out!! On Monday, 18 of us headed to Philip Bongiorno Conference Center in Carlisle for a 4 day summer camp experience! The week was packed with crazy fun, quality relationships, and spiritual challenges!

The typical day looked something like this:
8:00am breakfast (french toast sticks! mm..)
9:00am devotions
9:30am “Drivers Ed” morning service
11:00am Bible quizzing (our passage for the week was 1 Corinthians 12)
12:00pm lunch (chicken nuggets!)
1:00pm team games (dodgeball, tug of war, pool games… you name it!)
5:00pm dinner (turkey!)
7:00pm night service with Mike Holt
11:00pm team games

Everything about the week was intense – spiritually and actively. The speaker for the week was Mike Holt – a hilarious Georgia boy! With his southern twang, crazy stories, and spiritual challenges, everyone left camp ten big leaps in their walks with the Lord! I lot of garbage was thrown out of students’ lives, and then replaced with an equipping of power and authority. Leaders and ambassadors were raised by the hundreds guys!! Praise the Lord for his very personal intervention!

The week was loaded with FUN. The 500 students that went were divided up into 16 teams. Twice a day, there would be team games and competitions to rack up the points. Games included tug-of-war, dodgeball, sharks and minos, and relays involving disorientation and garbage cans over your head (very hard to explain… find me and I’ll explain. I haven’t laughed this hard in so long!!)

There were plenty of other opportunities to win points though… Our rooms were checked everyday for cleanliness and decorations, and awards for best and worst were announced. The first day, my girls’ room won best room!! But then, to top it off, Tom’s room got worst!! haha… go CLA!! The week’s passage for Bible quizzing was 1 Corinthians 12 (on spiritual gifts). We did our best on to study up… but quizzing was definitely not our forte.. Tom’s team went from last place, good job boys! And I’m ashamed to say the girls teams got 13th and 14th place… boo hoo.

The afternoons were free time, yay! PennDel has so so so much to do! Of course a pool, golf course, volleyball, tetherball, four square, basketball, the works! A lot of us got go to Sports Emporium for one of the free time sessions and dominated in go carts and laser tag.

I had such a great time this week. You would be missing out if you don’t mark your calendars for this next year y’all!! Not only is it fun, but you are guaranteed to leave spiritually stronger and confident! Here are some shots from the week…

Have a great weekend everyone!! Turk team returns tomorrow!! Thanks for all your prayers and support!

On June 12th, we are having an event to introduce our visitors to Frequency and to have some fun doing it!

Here’s the best part:  We haven’t decided what we’re going to do yet, we’re leaving that up to you!  Let us know what you think we should do next Friday!  Movie night? Dodgeball? Basketball? Capture the Flag? It’s up to you!

Sunday night, over 80 students made a commitment to remain pure and to abstain from sexual activity until marriage. It was awesome to see the overwhelming amount of adults there ready to support each student as they entered into this phase of their life. The night started with Pastor Wayde delivering an opener where he encouraged the students about their decisions. The night then transitioned to a time of worship and praise where everyone focused on the Lord. After Amber and Pastor Jeff delivered a a heartfelt message, Nick Brinson performed an awesome monologue that caused each person to consider the depth of their relationship with God. Finally, the night ended with every student saying the pledge out loud and their families supporting and praying over their children.

This night was a victory won against the constant attack of the devil on our society. Our society tells us that it is unrealistic to wait to have sex until marraiage, but God says that all things are possible with Him. We have pledged our lives to Live Pure. Now the real journey begins…

On Sunday, February 15, at 6:30 PM we will be in the Youth Center where our youth will be taking a pledge to live pure.  Since January 4, they have been participating in our Live Different Sunday Morning Life Group focused on identity in Christ, image and relationships.  Purity is an important decision they will make in their lives.  Come and support our youth as they take a pledge to Live Different and LivePure.

As we all know, the Steelers and Cardinals are playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday.  If you need a fun place to watch the game and hang out with friends, you can come to our party this year at the Burkey’s house. The address is 114 Ewe Rd, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055. We are asking everyone to bring a snack or a drink for the group to share. You can pick up a flyer for this event on Sunday. Directions can be found on the flyer or you can Google the address.  Be sure to wear clothes representing your favorite football team!

Unfortunately, because of weather conditions all activities on campus are cancelled.
