See You at the Pole

See You at the Pole 2013 was a great success! The official number of participants at the high school is 81, while the early number at the middle school was 68, but that's not the final official count.  The leadership at the poles was outstanding and everything ran smoothly at both locations.  

Jacob Hollis brought his guitar and he and Audrey Fitts and Selby Tucker led the group in some well-known praise songs.  There's nothing cooler to me than hearing teenagers lift up Jesus Christ in song first thing in the morning!

Kelbe Callaway and Makenzie Pierce led the students in prayer and Scripture reading as the students encircled the flagpole to pray.  I think more than ever before, these students seemed comfortable standing in a united front against any scheme of the enemy.

After the large group met together, the students broke into smaller groups to pray individually and specifically about certain things/people.  They ended the event by coming back together, linking arms around each other, swaying back and forth, and singing Light the Fire... 

What an awesome experience! 

GLOW NIGHT

Despite the extremely wet weather this past Friday night, we carried on with our plans for our glow-in-the-dark themed 5th Quarter called GLOW NIGHT.  

The turnout was not so great, but we sort of invented a new game that ended up being extremely fun.  We blacked out all of the windows, in the gym and had a few black lights going while we split up into teams.  We formed two glow teams...Blue & Pink, and played Ultimate Frisbee with a glow-in-the-dark frisbee.  Each team member wore his/her team's color in glow stick necklaces, bracelets and regular glow necklaces.  We took skinny green glow necklaces and placed them on the boundary lines for the Ultimate Frisbee field in sort of a dotted line fashion.  Not long after we set this up, we realized how much it all looked like the movie TRON.  Thus, the game of TRON Frisbee was created!  So much fun...nobody wanted to go home!

We will definitely be doing this again!

What's New at The Source?

School is officially in full swing... With that comes an opportunity to get back in the flow spiritually and to make a new start.  At The Source, we can help you do that.  This year, we've added some new elements to our Wednesday night worship!
In addition to our new small groups, called Recharge Groups, we've added a competition that will take place all year between two teams... Purple or White.

Each person will be placed on a team and will help his/her team earn points throughout the year by bringing a Bible, bringing a friend, memorizing/passing off Scripture, and also competing in team challenges each week during our game time segment of activities!  Fun stuff!!
We've also added an "up-front" game time that will present itself on occasion that was created by and will be led by Selby Tucker & Audrey Fitts...

Here's some footage of last night's game... Egg Toss

So anyway, there are some really exciting things going on at The Source and I hope you will come join us and be a part of it this school year!  Don't forget to text @fbcha to 870-831-6557 for youth updates!!  See you soon!
