Jjam was kicked off with an intense game of Round ‘Em Up.  The girls were able to show their incredible strength by dragging guys from the center of the sanctuary to their team’s corner.  It later turned into a game of Amazon Women, a Jjam favorite. 
    After that, a new game was brought to us by team Tamagotchi called Sombrero Frisbee.  In this unique game each team got in a circle around a water jug with a pool noodle in the center.  A rubber glove sat on top of the noodle.  At the start of the music the team passed a bowling pin around the circle like the game Hot Potato.  When the music stopped whoever had the bowling pin had to throw the sombrero at the noodle to knock the glove off of it.  If a person missed they were out.  It sounds more complicated to read about than to play I’m realizing.  Anyway, it was pretty fun.
    Next we played the Bucket Game.  Let’s just say that some Jjammers’ arms probably hurt really bad the next day.
     Soon after Mason did a devo on worship and we broke up into our teams to talk about what that really means.
    For the gross out game we had some SPICY SPICY Chili.  However, the middle schoolers who were brave enough to try some seemed to have no problem scarfing it down.
     Many Jjammers dressed up for the occasion of Western Day.  Katie’s horse was quite impressive.  Next week is FOREIGN DAY! So wear your sombreros, or kimonos or whatever foreign clothing you have for Tuesday!

   Now your trivia question for extra points:
Name six of the seven countries that end with “stan”.

sooooo.

jjam is officially over for the season.

for the last week, we played a brand new game… an awesome one at that. it’s called Ninja. or Kungfu. you start by bowing to your competitors and assuming the position.

besides that, the game is hard to explain. you pretty much have to learn by playing. sorryaboutthat.

however,  it’s still the most epic thing ever.

OHHHH. it was ghetto day too. so we had a lot of gangsters roaming around. swag and all. [:

overall, it was a great day and fantastic season!

TEAM PHAGOPHOBIA WON! way to be! this means you get to attend the party for free. It’s next tuesday, the 8th, at fountain blue skating rink. be there. or be square.

we hope to see you all come out again next semester! it starts up in the spring again!

J-jam on Tuesday kicked off with a brand new game.  It was steal the bacon with a new twist!  Once a person’s number was called he or she had to sprint to the center, grab a fluffy pillow and smack the other person.  The first person to hit the other person won!  After a few rounds of that we played traditional steal the bacon with noodles, pillows, a beach ball, and an inner tube.  Then we got into our groups to play a Disney movie trivia game.  For this game, random audio from various Disney movies from The Little Mermaid to Pirates of the Caribbean were played and the J-jamers had to run to Mike and Deanna to give them the answers.  Then Cherith and I did a devo on Being Grateful.  After that we had an intense gross out game.  This time nothing had to be eaten (although with the materials, I’m sure many would have loved that!).  Instead each team chose one person and the teams had two minutes to put as many oreos on that person’s face as possible.  Peanut butter was used as adhesive.  Brielle was a beautiful sticky mess, as were the others.

Well I hope you guys had fun this week!  Next week is Crazy Hair Day!  Make sure you come (because your team will lose points if you don’t! and you will miss out on tons of fun)!  Also, bring your friends!  Your teams get mega points for bringing new people and we only have a few more weeks so every point counts!

Next were the Manly Makeovers… our guys not only had to be made-up with lipstick and all, but we made them take the model’s walk of shame. they posed for us and all :] it was quite entertaining.

The devo was on forgivness and then we moved right into our gross-out. We had the kids eat bananas and plantains with thier faces. mwwwahhahha! too bad its swine season…well on the other hand we did have hand sanitizer there waiting for them. that makes up for it, right?

Yesterday we had our third week of JJAM ‘09 and it was hippie day! Sam Holobinko won the spirit contest with her very cool outfit. Since the weather was so nice, we went down to the fields. We started out with a classic game of capture the cone. After that we played some tug of war, which gave everyone rope burn. Then we played a game of pop the balloon. Most of the balloons popped before the game began because of the hard grass, but it was still fun. Next Pastor John gave a great devo about witnessing including a very funny story about a granny who beat up 6 security guards. Then it was time to head back up to the youth center. It was a very fun day of jjam.

The Team Scores:

Phag: 405,000

Maiesio: 382,000

Taph: 369,000

Dutch: 387,000

Next weeks spirit theme is JERSEY DAY!

Here is the trivia question:

What year was the national football league founded?

Answer with the team name included.

Just a reminder…

Great Escape payment and forms are due tonight at youth.

Worship with a Cause is this sunday night in the youth center at 7 pm. We’d love to see you there.

heyyy [:

hope your weeks been a good one so far!

Things at Frequency have been a blast... to start off,  Freak out Friday at Frequency, was disguisting to say the least! Pumpinks filled with junk, gross blender games, and kiddie pools filled with even more crap.

At Fusion Middle School, we played the shoe game where all the kids graced us with the smell of their unwashed feet. Once all their shoes were in a pile in the center of the room, we sent them all in to retrieve them. simultaneously. hectic, as you can imagine.

J-jam was crazy. At the beginning, we played Octopus. always a treat. Next we moved onto a intense game of dodgball. Amazon women was to follow with the few guys we had. Pastor Jan spoke on facing your fears.  We fought our fears by writing them down and throwing them at a giant chicken… who was pretty intimidating himself.

Next week is Hippie Day!! Your question this week is: When did the hippie movement begin? Teams, please leave your answer in a comment.  First one to answer gets 1,000 points [: Be sure to leave your team name otherwise you won’t get credit.

Youth Group is tonight. Bring your Fobs!! We will hopefully have the computer by next week!

peace out

Youth began with  Dave Wolfe dazzling us (or disgusting us) with one of his announcement creations once again.  Then the two new youth staff members, Jason and Dale, were introduced via the Frequency Hotseat with Pastor Jeff as the host.  Next we went into an awesome time of worship let by Joe Fang and Ryan Ritchey.

Afterwards, Pastor Jeff gave his message on stepping up to the plate.  He talked about how 300 night will be in October and how we should be praying for our lost friends.  Then we were encouraged to write two of our friends names on poster boards to keep them in our thoughts.

As for J-jam, here is your trivia question for 10,000 pts.  Please comment with the answer along with your team name…

What phobia is the fear of long words?

Don’t forget next week is team color day!  See you then!  =]
