ThirdPlace Fall Kick-Off BBQ, Friday, Sept. 4th!

at the Harvest Field Barn
Friday Sept. 4 at 6:30pm

Come Kick Off the year and get plugged in and connected to this crazy awesome community! If you're new (or know someone who is new) to the area or just checking out ThirdPlace for the first time, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU! This is the time to get plugged in and get connected! There will be outdoor games, soccer fields, sand volleyball, camp fire, s’mores, and more! We'll provide the s'mores, condiments, snacks, plates, napkins, utensils, charcoal and grill...you bring the meat or veggies and any sides you'd like to share. All are welcome, so feel free to invite your buddies!

Please RSVP to Lois at lois@calvarysc.org

Directions to Harvest Fields:

>From SOUTH & EAST: Take Rte 322 west from Lewistown towards State College. The entrance to Harvest Fields is about ½mile past Elk’s Club Golf Course (you can see Tussey Ski slope on left). There are a few two-story apartments on the right side of 322 at Jack’s Mill Drive. Just after you pass these apartments (Centre Estates), you will see the gravel entrance to Harvest Fields on the left. Because this is a ‘right turn entrance in/exit out only’ you will need to continue past the entrance to turn around. To turn around-- bear right as 322 splits between Business & Bypass. Go under the over-pass. Take your first left after the over-pass (it comes quick!). Turn left and left again so the Boalsburg Technology Park will be on your right.***

From NORTH & EAST: From I-80 to Bellefonte exit #24, then Rte 26 south to State College. Two miles past Nittany Mall go east on Rte322 Expressway. Follow directions from North/West below...

From NORTH & WEST: From Rte 322 expressway east around State College. The expressway changes from four lanes to two lanes at the east end. Harvest Fields is directly in front of you as the road narrows.***

From Church – 1250 University Drive:
When exiting the church parking lot, turn right onto University Drive. At the signal light, turn left onto Atherton St./US-322 BR E. Continue for approximately 3.5 miles (through Boalsburg, past the Boalsburg Technology Park on right), at which point the US-322 E expressway and business route merge. After the merge, the entrance to Harvest Fields is just ahead on the right (~ 150 yards).***


***As the 2 roads marge, slow down & move onto the right shoulder. As you approach, you will see a line of trees on the RIGHT running perpendicular to the road; these run along both sides of the driveway. The gravel entrance is near a black mailbox with a small white sign "Harvest Fields and Calvary Offices." [If, as you continue driving east, you pass Centre Estates Jack’s Mill Drive, Elk’s Club Golf Course or Tussey Mountain Ski Area sign, you have gone too far.] After you turn into gravel entrance, follow the lane to the top of the hill. Parking is available near the 3-door garage or in the upper gravel lot. Enter the building from the front (by wooden handicap ramp).

d. Any player is only permitted to play for one team for the duration of the tournament. Trading, bartering, kidnapping, etc. will end at the sound of the first whistle.
3. Offsides
a. There is no offsides in 6 v. 6 play. Therefore, “cherry picking” shall be used upon the discretion of any given team.
4. Out of bounds
a. The entirety ball must cross the sideline before it is considered to be out of bounds. A kick in shall result at the point where the ball crossed the line.
b. Should the entirety of the ball cross the end line but not be within the frame of the goal, the result shall be a goal kick (a kick to be taken by the defending team) or a corner kick (to be taken by the offensive team).

c. Should a referee not see a foul, teams are encouraged to play with utmost sportsmanship and call their own foul.
d. Any serious foul called inside your own goalkeeper’s box will result in a PK. This kick is a direct kick, meaning the ball may enter the goal without touching any other player except the kicker (obviously).

7. Fine print that no one reads: Rules are subject to the Organizer’s (Mike Manahan) discretion. Any rule that should be not listed or one that is under question shall be given to the Organizer and the proper and just ruling shall be given.

ThirdPlace Celebration

ThirdPlace Celebration
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
7:00pm-9:00pm at Harvest Fields


We have seen God do incredible things in and through the ThirdPlace community. It is our desire to stop and celebrate the great things that God is doing!

The celebration will be an intimate, relaxed, out-door setting at Harvest Fields, at the top of the hill. We’ll be spending time together while enjoying appetizers and desserts, with live music in the background and the beauty of the Harvest Fields land before us! Following that, we will have a time of sharing … a time to encourage one another with what God is doing in and through us all. There will also be a time of worship and prayer at the end of the evening to specifically bless and pray for people transitioning to another stage in their lives (couples who are newly engaged or married, people moving to different locations, people going on short term missions trips, etc.).
We want to bless people as they transition....so if you are leaving State College, or just transitioning in some way, we’d love, LOVE to share, pray for you, and celebrate you! It will be a time for all of us to come together, to encourage one another, and celebrate together!

This event is open to all, however, we’ll be specifically recognizing and praying for those who are transitioning in some way...so please join us as we celebrate together, eat together, and send off our friends!

Please RSVP BY FRIDAY, MAY 29TH to Lois at lois@calvarysc.org so that we can plan this very special evening accordingly.

Love,
-Lo

Blue & White Tailgate: Saturday, April 25 11am-??

Come join us on Saturday & check out the 2009 PSU football team!

Blue White is the annual Penn State football scrimmage. For those of us that are football fans, it means an excuse to tailgate and wear our blue & white in April!! They also have a carnival set up beside the stadium where you can get a lot of different food. The game starts at 2pm and it is free admission and free parking. There are a few of us meeting at the North Atherton Wal-Mart parking lot (on the left side of the parking lot facing the store) at 10 to drive to the fields together. This way we can get a bigger space to tailgate together and can be set up by 11am. If anyone would like to join us in the morning, you can meet us there or you can call us around 11 to see where we are set up and come join us in the fields. Please call Esli if you would like to join in any of the festivities: 814.571.1406 or email Andrea L. Ronan <alronan613@gmail.com>.

Please bring something to share with everyone and a chair or blanket to sit on, if you want. We will have drinks and some snacks. So bring along chips, cookies or any fun tailgate treat. We’ll also have a grill, so bring your own meat or non-meat product to grill :)

Barn Dance at Rosenberger Barn: Saturday, April 25th, 8pm-12am

We're bringing back the band Smashing Windows from New York and they will be calling the night. If you've never been to a Barn Dance, fear not. We all have no idea what we're doing which makes it all the more fun! We look forward to seeing everyone there!! $5.00 for students / $7.00 for non-students

Directions to the Rosenberger Barn:
The barn is located at 607 Smith Lane, Centre Hall, PA (near Linden Hall). This is about a 15 minute drive from downtown State College
• Go east on business Route 322 or on Mount Nittany Expressway Route 322
• Take Route 45 east (go 1-2 miles)
• Turn left onto Linden Hall Road, which is just after Aspen Heights (large home development on your left)
• Go about 1/2 mile to the stop sign and turn right onto Rock Hill Road at the pond, which is on the right
• Go about 1/4 mile to the stop sign and turn right onto Brush Valley Road
• Go exactly one mile on Brush Valley Road
• Turn right onto Smith Lane (narrow road hidden in the trees so watch closely), which is just after a green trailer on the right that has numerous lawn ornaments out front
• After crossing over a flat, wooden bridge on Smith Lane, go a half mile to the first big barn on the left.
The big red old-fashioned barn is more than 100 feet long so you can’t miss it. Can’t find your way? Call this cell number and someone will help your out—814 574-9840.
