Training students to impact the world for Christ.

Tyrone Christian brings families, students, school leadership and staff together to equip students for academic, relational, and spiritual excellence. Through a distinguished instructional program, we look to God’s Word as the primary source for all wisdom and knowledge as we instill a Biblical worldview through a fusion of core subjects and life-skills classes.

Hebrews 12:1 says Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us...

Our Chapel speaker, Pastor Ashley McDonald from Access Church, broke this verse down for us today with some engaging object lessons around the things that hinder us and weigh us down and well as the sinful things that entangle us.

We're told to preparing for race day which means that we want to be as "light" as possible, and not be weighed down by anything. We have to understand that some things are not inherently bad or sinful - like video games, social media, extra curricular activities, phones, entertainment, or caring about the opinions of others - but they can still hinder us from better pursuits that God has for us.

Other things, are inherently sinful, which means they will only ever pull us away from what God has for us. Name calling, pride, gossip, disobeying parents, and unforgiveness were all named as examples that we might face in this category.

Not everyone runs the same race, but all of us will face things that fit in both of these categories. When we realize it, we have to ask for His forgiveness, and pray for continued motivation to put God first.

Pastor Ashley challenged us to analyze what's in their "backpack" that may be hindering them from pursuing God completely, and asked them to analyze what's in their "heart" to see if there is anything that needs to be removed.

Thank you Pastor Ashley for such a relevant word!

Every Life Skills hiking trip we've planned over the last few years has been rained out, but we were blessed with a beautiful day last Friday to hit the trails with the students.

Students were able to pick one of three destinations, an easy>medium>hard selection. We split up and traveled to Trough Creek State Park, Mount Nittany, and 1,000 Steps Trail.

Every group had a great day taking in the autumn scenery and many asked if we could go again next week! (But we've already got other fun plans for next week...)

A scavenger hunt is always a fun way to review for a quiz! Our Geometry class prepared for their Angles Quiz by finding all the different types of angles around campus last week!

The 8th Grade class has been using several mini labs to help them learn about air, water, soil and Earth's structures in their Science class. They kicked off the chapter by comparing 3 different soil samples and observing the layers that formed when the samples were allowed to settle to understand how the different layers of the Earth are formed.

Then, they used those same samples along with household products like eggs, cucumbers and citrus to measure and compare pH levels, noting that a pH level of a 6 or 7 is best for growing most plants. Mrs. Sellers kicked off the discussion on Watersheds with a classroom demonstration and then students had the opportunity to use the River Runner App to follow the water's path from their home address into the Chesapeake Bay. Students were also able to see what smaller watersheds they may be a part of.

Finally, the students used celery, water and food die to see Capillary Action at work. Especially in middle school, these hands-on opportunities help to keep students engaged as active participants in their learning.

Friday Faces at Tyrone Christian Academy

Every other week we are interviewing a TCA staff member and asking them three questions to get to know them a little better!

This is our first edition of Friday Faces, and we sat down with Ms. Guess who teaches Middle school and High school English.

Prayer is HOW God has chosen to move.

Prayer is necessary. Prayer is powerful. Prayer is works.

But we have to be people of prayer. Prayer can't be the spare tire of life, used only in emergency situations. Prayer has to instead be the engine of our lives.

Pastor Josh Simonetti, from Freedom Life Centre County, joined us yesterday and shared his heart with us on the topic of prayer.

Teaching mainly from the book of James, he encouraged us that prayer works because it is the ay we access God. James tells us clearly that the prayers of a righteous person are powerful and effective.

But prayer isn't passive or accidental. Prayer is intentional. When God's people pray, heaven gets to work.

Pastor Josh shared the incredible story of how the national See You at The Pole movement was started when just a few high school students got together in the 1990s and began praying.

He also shared several other testimonies from his own life, the lives of others, and straight from God's word, about how prayer is the vehicle God has chosen to move through.

He summarized everything with 3 points:

1- Prayer is not extra credit, it's the basic foundation of a Christian life.
2- Prayer is not informing God of our circumstances, but inviting God into them.
3- We CAN pray powerful prayers because God said so.

Thank you Pastor Josh for spending your morning with us!

Last week, while the K-2nd graders took part in the Bike Rodeo here on campus, the rest of our students hit some local bike trails!

A small group of high schoolers were up for the challenge of mountain biking on the Allegrippis Trails around Raystown Lake. They biked a little over 11 miles through some incredible scenery. We saw a few snakes, navigated some difficult terrain, and stopped for ice cream on the way out of the woods.

The rest of the group (split between two days) went to on the Lower Rail Trail that runs about 12 miles between Williamsburg and Alexandria. It is also a beautiful trail and a very enjoyable bike ride.

Bike Day is always a favorite and we are so thankful for the incredible trails close by here in PA!

Last week we held our annual Bike Rodeo during our Life skills time! Every student was invited to bring their bicycle or scooter in for the day and complete different obstacle courses and riding challenges!
