Bring your own gun and ammo (we have some extra.) Bring your own eye protection and cold weather gear. 

Gentlemen (only), you are invited to spend the night on October 26th and help clean up after the Fall Harvest Festival. If you're not helping during the Festival, you may come at 8pm Oct 26th to help clean up.  We'll be sleeping in the Old Sanctuary. Airsoft paraphenalia stays in the block house. 

Volunteers Needed for Fall Harvest Festival Oct 26 5-8pm

Every year hundreds of folks from our community come to Liberty's Fall Harvest Festival. This is a great way to serve our neighbors and minister the great grace that we've been shown in Christ. We're stepping it up this year and including another moonbounce (fingers crossed) a costume contest/parade, weenie roast and s'mores at the bonfire, and a teen hangout in the block house. We're doing all this in addition to our usual games and candy in the gym. So we need your help.

I'm looking for groups of two or three to run a game or activity all night. Here's what I still need volunteers for: (come in costume if you like)
Football Throw game, Bowling, Ball Pool, Lollipop Tree, Pumpkin Painting, Candy Distributors, Moon Bounce bouncers, Evangelists, Costume Contest judges, Bonfire chefs, Block House Hosts.

So far Caleb T. and Micah C. are signed up to run the Hockey game, Nathaniel D. on bowling, Kaiah and Kylie on pin the pumpkin, Dan H. and Caleb C. on whack-a-mole.

I also need your help publicizing this, telling friends and Liberty Christian School alumni, and responding to our facebook event.

Finally, I need your help praying that this event would be a place where we could share the love of Christ with our neighbors.

Back to School? Let's celebrate with a cookout this Sunday night at the church.

We'll be providing the hotdogs, buns, paper goods, and condiments.
Ladies: bring a dessert or drink to share
Guys: bring a side or chips to share.
(big families: just bring whatever you want =)


Middle and High School Students, you're invited to join us for our kickoff of the fall youth group season. We'll be meeting every other Sunday night from 7-8:30pm to hang out, worship, pray, and snack. We be playing Gaga, football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, darts, foosball, and wii. We'll be discussing whether there is a God and reasons for belief in Him. (If you've been convinced for awhile these sessions will help train you in how to talk to others who don't believe. It's also a great place to bring friends and neighbors who don't already believe.) We'll be using Lee Stroebel's "Case for Faith" and "Case for a Creator" to help answer the big questions.

So we'll provide the hotdogs, buns, paper goods, and condiments. Come at 6pm. Get picked up at 8:30pm.
Ladies: bring a dessert or drink to share
Guys: bring a side or chips to share.
And of course, everybody...bring a friend!

See the calendar at the bottom of this page for future youth events.

Beach Trip, Youth Group, and Fall Schedule

Surf's up dude! Take a beach trip with us to Delaware Seashore State Park August 15th. We'll meet at the church at 6am and return at 8pm.  Come as a family or RSVP if you're coming as an individual. If you're coming as a family bring $12 cash for the Bay Bridge and Parking fees. If you're coming by yourself bring $5 to give to your driver. Please RSVP to Nick by this Sunday August 12th.

Fall schedule. We'll be having youth group for 6th-12th graders every other Sunday night in the fall.  We'll start with a kickoff picnic Sunday Night September 9th 6-8:30pm. We'll be teaching through Lee Stroebel's "Case for Faith" and "Case for a Creator" dealing with questions like: "Why believe anything?" "Is there a God?" "Why is there evil?" See our calendar below for specific dates. We'll still be having youth sunday schools where the middle school wil be studying Acts and the High School will be studying the Pentateuch. There are no plans for FISH and Wyldlife services.

Updated youth group time and cancelled event

Summer youth group is 7-9pm most Thursday nights. Refer to the google calendar at the bottom of the page for specific dates.
Due to low interest we will not be having a trip to Adventure Park USA. The Hancocks however have graciously opened up their home and pool to us. So on Wednesday June 13th from 8am to 12 noon we'll have swimming and game playing at the Hancocks. I know 8am is early for a summer morning it's just that some of us like to play games that take a long time to play. Come when you wake up and bring your bathing suit. If you need a ride, contact Nick. 443-two eight six- 5886.

Parents' Meeting and Summer plans

Parent's Meeting: Sunday May 27th please join us in the back of the Old Sanctuary for an informational meeting about where we've been and where we're going in the youth ministry. We will be talking about the summer schedule and strategy. There will be time for discussion and prayer. Youth will have their final week of sunday school in their usual places.

Final F.I.S.H.: This Sunday 6-9pm make sure to come to the Hathaway's for our final FISH of the year (and perhaps for a long time.) Bring your journals and pens we still have more work to do in our evangelism training. We'll be having a cookout starting at 6pm. Please RSVP to Nick, 443-286-5886 so I know how many hotdogs to get. If you're coming please bring a side or dessert to share, we'll provide the hot dogs, buns, drinks and paper goods. Families are welcome. We'll go from 6-9pm.  Our house is at 1630 Brimfield Circle Sykesville MD 21784.

Summer Family Sunday School: Beginning June 3rd Middle School, High School and families are welcome to attend our Summer Family Sunday school. This year we'll be meeting in the Block House. I know...we'll have to do a little rearranging. (The Adult Education Committee wants to try to reserve the Sanctuary for the Praise team. But we'll move into the Old Sanctuary if there's too many of us for the block building.)
We'll be studying the Ten Commandments. We'll take a look at the actual wording of each command, it's Old Testament Interpretation, it's New Testament Interpretation, the Westminster Catechism's Interpretation along with some discussion. If you'd like to prepare for June 3rd you can start by memorizing questions 39-44 in the Shorter Catechism.

Summer Youth Group: Thursday nights from 7-9pm. Those going into 6th grade all the way up to those graduating from High School are welcome to join us for our summer youth group happening on Tuesdays throughout the summer. We'll be playing and we'll be studying Media Ecology and memorizing verses about Communicating Christianly in an age of cellphones, internet, social media, and email. Verses will be forthcoming. You can prepare by taking a look at the churchs' policy on Christian Communication found on our website.

Leadership Training: Tuesday nights at 8pm at the Hathaways we'll be offering leadership training for those interested in helping out with youth ministry in the next year. It will be a time of prayer, fellowship, and bible study in the pursuit of Christian maturity. If you're interested please contact Nick at 443-286-5886.

Kids Club: Tuesday nights at 7pm in the middle of Brimfield circle the Hathaways and some friends will be hosting a Kids club for neighborhood youth. We'll play a game, sing a song or two, listen to a Bible lesson and have a snack. If you're interested in helping out or providing a snack one week please contact Nick. This would be a great way for those going on the Chattanooga trip to practice before going down to Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Team: Contact Becky Hancock for your assignments and responsibilities for the car wash. You're all responsible for writing a support letter and sending it out to friends and family in order to raise support for our mutual mission. If you need help with this, please contact Nick. Furthermore, you should begin strategizing for your different tasks: Sarah Smith, Ben Hancock plan music. Abby Blackburn, Nathan Goedeke, and Alex Vesotsky plan bible talks. Marissa Cote, Ben Cote, Carl Anderson plan 3 crafts. Josh Crone, Isaac Crone, Dalton Will get information and tools for work.

Baccalaureate and a Dam Walk

Please join us in congratulating our graduating high school seniors this Sunday after church. We will be having lunch in the fellowship hall immediately after worship so I could use some help setting up tables, chairs, and laying out plasticwear for our meal between sunday school and service this sunday. Please RSVP to the church office by friday with numbers for your family if you're planning on attending since we will be ordering sandwiches. Also, please bring a side or dessert to share.
If you are one of the graduates families, this is a reminder that I need you to gather 10-20 digital pictures of your graduate that I can turn into a slideshow. I will need them by early friday morning. If you need to scan pictures in, you can come into the church office to do so on friday morning. You will also need to prepare a brief word for your graduate. This might include some joking, some challenging, and some congratulating. The youth ministry will provide a gift for each graduate.
The night of Sunday the 20th, we'll be meeting at the Liberty Dam (drive all the way down to the dam itself) promptly at 7pm and walking back to church on the fire path through the woods. Bring a comfortable pair of sneakers. Call Nick at 443- two eight six- 5886 with any questions regarding the walk.

Softball and Cuatro de Mayo

This weekend we'll be having our mini-missions conference. We won't be having youth sunday school this sunday instead we'll all be meeting in the sanctuary to hear from our missionaries.
We will be having Youth Group at 7pm where we'll play some softball as the weather allows. So please bring a mitt and bat if you have one. We'll play on the soccer field.

May 4th from 6-7pm in the fellowship hall we'll be having our Chattanooga Fundraising Dinner called "Cuatro de Mayo." We'll be be having a Fajita dinner served by the youth mission team. So please come and support your missionaries and give us a chance to serve you.  We'll spend a little time telling you about how the kingdom is advancing in Chattanooga and a little time trying to get your support.

30 hour Famine and Chattanooga Dinner

Those who are doing 30 hour famine: Remember to contact friends, family, and church members to get donations to raise money to feed the hungry. I've had several church members tell me they're just waiting to be approached about supporting fasters. Please contact folks to ask for donations. If you still need a donation sheet come by the church office.

Begin your fast from food (or modified fast for those with health issues) at 12 noon on Friday. Because of lack of volunteers we will not be holding a sleepover on Friday night. Instead, arrive at the church at 8am on Saturday so that we can travel down to Grace EP in Davidsonville to listen to Covenant Seminary Professor Jerram Barrs talk about "Who is my neighbor?" We will return to church at 1 pm. Then we will do activities at the church until 6pm. Parents, come at 6pm with an entree or salad to share. We will break our fast from 6pm to 6:30pm in the Fellowship Hall. (Also, if you'd like you can bring a small donation to Grace EP for letting us attend their conference.)

You can attend all or part of the 30 hour famine activities but please let me know through email so that I can plan accordingly. thehathawayhome@gmail.com

Cuatro de Mayo! Mark your calendars for the Chattanooga Fundraising Dinner here at the church on May 4th. We'll be serving Mexican style dishes and raising money for our Mission Trip. Meal to start at 6pm.

Holy Ghost!!!

I’ve heard about Jesus and I think I know who God the Father is but who, or what, is the Holy Spirit?

Is the Holy Spirit that important? What does the Holy Spirit do?

Is the Holy Spirit like a ghost or more like the Force in Star Wars?

Is the Holy Spirit less of an ‘it’ and more of a ‘he?’

Are fruits of the Spirit real or just made up? Should I see them?

Are spiritual gifts real or are they just glorified personality traits?

What does it mean to be filled/ sealed with the Holy Spirit?

We’ll be answering these questions and more as we spend a weekend looking at the Holy Spirit, studying pneumatology.Name of sponsoring organization:

Jared Havener: was a youth intern with Liberty Church PCA in the summer of 2009. He did a magnificent job of connecting with youth, engaging with them through sports and activities, and teaching them on a weekly basis in small groups and through talks. Jared’s talks on world religions could have sufficed for college lectures they were so full of content. And yet his demeanor and style communicate even to middle school students in such a way that they can grow in their understanding and be challenged.

Jared lives outside of Pittsburgh and is currently working and going to graduate school at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He recently married his great friend Kelsey who is beginning a career in occupational therapy

Jared loves soccer and played for Lancaster Bible College. He was a passionate fps gamer. Currently his hobbies are spending time with his wife, hanging out with the youth group, and reading the heaviest theology he can get his hands on.
