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.

CityServe this weekend, April 18-19!!!

Hey ThirdPlace Friends,

April 18-19 is CityServe Weekend: Last year 2 congregations joined together for 2 days as 619 people served 2447 hours on 83 projects. This year the numbers start with 6 congregations. On Saturday and Sunday April 18 & 19, we are going into the community to do simple acts of service – walk the pathway of blessing and let the love of Jesus loose in the Centre Region. Instead of having church we are going to be the church. Instead of going to church, the church is going to the community. So don’t show up at any of Calvary’s worship gatherings. Led by our multi-church planning team we will be serving people in our area by meeting tangible needs. We will be demonstrating acts of kindness to encourage and uplift others in our community. That’s what CityServe is all about.

Please go to www.sc-cityserve.org/servant.php ASAP and browse all the projects that are available and sign up to serve!! We have many spots that are still open, and we’d LOVE to meet these needs in our community!!
If you have already signed up to serve with your Life Group, or just as an individual, THANK YOU!! Please consider signing up for another project, we have plenty and could definitely use the help!!

Here’s to serving together!

Easter Week

Thursday, April 9th: Maundy Thursday Service 7:30-9:00pm at 1250 University Drive.
“Maundy”- from the Latin word “mandatum”, which refers to the new commandment or “mandate” that Jesus gave His disciples at the Last Supper- “a new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you” -John 13:34.

All are invited to come and participate in an introspective worship service with communion, designed to focus the heart and mind on the events of the last evening of Christ’s life.


Friday, April 10th: The Way of the Cross: Set aside some time in your day for a self-guided spiritual encounter that takes participants through a series of interactive prayer stations, exploring the events of Christ’s Passion – the suffering of Jesus leading up to His crucifixion and death.

(Approx. 45-60 minutes – at your own pace. At 1250 University Drive)

OPEN 7am-9am | 11am-2pm | 4pm-10pm


Saturday, April 11th: ThirdPlace Prayer Retreat at 8:30am-12:30pm at Harvest Fields:

We'll join together in prayer that morning in the Log Room at Harvest Fields for a time of worship and corporate prayer from 8:30am-9:30am. Then we will break off for a time of reflection and solitude and you can go wherever you want (indoors or outdoors) and find some time to pray, journal, paint, sing...whatever you prefer! (9:30am-11:00am). We will come together then at 11:00am in the Log Room for a time of sharing, corporate worship and prayer.
