As Frederic area youth learned in 2005, the most difficult - and yet most rewarding - place in the world to do a mission project is at home right here in Frederic. With that awareness, youth from Frederic area churches are joining together for the Home Field Advantage project. HFA is a youth mission project serving Frederic and the surrounding area beginning July 27.
The goal is to share the love of God in practical ways with people right here in their own community. Special attention will be given to the needs of the elderly, disabled or otherwise disadvantaged.
During the Home Field Advantage week, youth will be involved in a variety of service projects including yard and house work, light construction, painting, window washing, planting, firewood preparation, garbage removal, etc.
The week will conclude on August 3 with a community block party to which everyone from the area is invited. There will be free food, games, and entertainment. (More)
Many of Frederic's churches are in on the project. Also involved are many area businesses and individuals.
We'll be updating this site throughout the HFA week with interesting stories and pictures. If you'd like you can grab our RSS feed to stay up to date.
Your intrepid blogger (narrator?) is spending the night with the group at the hotel and didn’t get a chance to get anything much together. Here are a couple pics without description:
Oh yeah, and then there’s this…
We’ll have more in the coming days.
