I am really grateful I got to go to Crown Bay Convalescent Home. On Valentine’s Day when most people spend their money on chocolate and flowers, and their evenings eating a romantic dinner, we were going to give the elderly real love- God’s love. Before entering the convalescent home, P. Will reminded all of us of why we were there. He read out to us 1 John 4:10-12, which says that since God loved us we should love others, and that love is made complete through actions. So we were there to share God’s love with people who do not often experience much love. It was extremely apt that on Valentine’s Day we show a people who do not receive much love – what true love is.

Come join us for InterHigh Monthly X!
We’ll be talking about the most controversial book of all time (and also the best-selling book of all time!), the Bible.
Why should I trust the bible of all things?
Where did it come from?
How do I know its not just a bunch of fairy tales?
Aren’t there a lot of contradictions in the Bible?
Who wrote it, humans or God and if God wrote it, how did He do it?
And many more questions! Come and find some answers!

Allright. Hope you had a good summer, and I hope that you’re liking school. On Sept.18, at the next InterHigh, we’re going to watch, “To Save A Life.” As you know, this movie has been out for a while, and it presents a lot of issues that Christians need to talk about. I was skeptical about the movie at first, but was hooked after the first 10 minutes and enjoyed the entire film. The movie preaches, not so much to unbelievers, I think, but to believers. I don’t think anyone who calls himself a follower of Christ can walk away without some reflection about how he is living his life as a Christian witness.

Time: 6:30pm – 10:30pm

We will listen, intercede, fellowship and engage each other through videos, hands-on activities, and small group discussions. And as always, we’ve planned a nice dinner and praise & worship to get us …

We kicked off our SummerHigh 2010 Retreat by gathering at Gracepoint to register. We had lunch and a time of icebreakers to get to know about 80 InterHigh students who came to the retreat.. After lunch, we packed into our twelve-van caravan for Sierra Lodge. The first couple of days were jam-packed with games for a fun time of bonding with the students and staff. We divided into four teams—“team Xtreme,” “insideOut,” “solid,” and “we’re on fire” to play some rousing sports ultimate frisbee, soccer, and …

Now What? This is WHAT!
As soon as people started arriving, we got into groups by grade and readied ourselves for the challenges ahead. We were competing to see which team would do the best in a series of games ranging from human foosball to Team Simon Says. My group was the twelfth graders and our team name was the Beastly Butterfly Boys and Birls (Girls). After each team gave its team cheer, we all rushed off to play. My team joined three others at the four-way tug-o-war, but we were soundly (and embarrassingly) defeated by the sixth graders….

600+ at RISE: Evidence for the Resurrection
Over 600 people attended an amazing evening at Rise this past Saturday! There was much anticipation in the air, as we awaited to hear from one of the most well-known Christian philosopher, author, theologian, professor, debater, and apologist of our time! Friends came from as far as Fresno and Vacaville to hear Dr. William Lane Craig give his arguments for the plausibility of Jesus’ resurrection, and how this life-changing event of Christ conquering death was really the hinge of history.

In this past “RISE: Evidence for the Resurrection”, we had a chance to hear William Lane Craig share with us a long list of evidence supporting the fact that Jesus did indeed RISE from the dead! Amazing!
But wait… I understand that Jesus rose from the dead but NOW WHAT?
Join us this coming InterHigh Monthly VII as we discuss what the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and what it all means for us personally.

The Internet. Love it or hate it, it’s here to stay. So, as Christians, what attitude should we have towards it? Does it even matter? Well, here at InterHigh, we think it does matter! Now, you may be thinking, “how does it matter?” I’m glad you asked! Let me tell you about InterHigh Monthly #6.

Join us for InterHigh #6 as we delve deeper into the influence of media and the world of video games.
Is it simply a “game”?
Video game technology has come a long way from the old days of Pac-Man. With faster computers, high-speed bandwidth and very realistic graphics, we are living in an age where the line between fantasy and reality is becoming more and more blurry. From young junior high kids to grown up adults, video games …

Do you remember the first Disney movie your parents showed you? How about all the innocent songs, dancing animals, and defeated villains? What if I told you that there’s so much more behind that mask of innocence?
Well at InterHigh Monthly V, we delved into true worldview of Disney with about a hundred students from all over the Bay Area!
Worldview of Disney
We began with presentations from our very own mentors on the worldview of Disney, reliving our past a little bit (watching some among us do their best to sing some …

We were at RISE and it was AWESOME! Hundreds of Christian youths from all over the bay area came to the UC Berkeley Campus to attend “RISE: Take a Stand for Jesus”. The music was blarin’, youths were singing at the top of their lungs as the praise team led all of us in an incredible time of praise…

Flowers, chocolate, hearts, and supermarkets flooded with the colors red, white and pink.
That’s what is commonly associated with Valentine’s Day, but for the Element Youth Group, it’s a day to be countercultural, as for the past five years, the holiday has gone hand in hand with demonstrating acts of compassion. Each year, instead of waiting around for that special someone to come knocking on our door, we mobilize and go out into the community to model God’s love.
This year, our gifts of handmade cards and blankets went to the …

Exposing the Disney Myth.
How many of you have ever watched Little Mermaid? Or Beauty and the Beast? Or Aladdin? You probably thought it was just a harmless kid’s movie, where its all about a beautiful princess finding the love of her life, about love at first sight, and about living happily ever after. But what is the real worldview presented in these movies? What do these movies have to say about relationships, about self-image, and about gender roles?…

Did you know that an average U.S. citizen spends 3,700 hours a year watching some form of mass media? That’s a little over five months!
At last month’s InterHigh Monthly, we learned facts such as this as we excitedly witnessed once again over 160 students flocking from all over northern California to attend, as well as a group that drove four hours all the way from Fresno!
The night started with a talk on the influence of media, as we watched a video created by Focus on the Family titled “Mind Over …
