Festivus Games & Kids Fitness

FYI

Hey everyone – thought that y’all might like to know about this competition that is coming up in April and the upcoming kids program at CrossFit Beaufort.  Both Sarah and I have been doing this for the last six months and my girls just joined too. It is a wonderful program and I think a perfect complement to homeschooling – Thanks Charlotte

From Betsy Binette –

Festivus Games 2016 are a fitness competition for everyone. At Festivus Games it’s not necessary to scale the events. No athlete, whether six months in or brand new, will need to scale any of the events. The competition is about capacity more than a high degree of skill. Everyone can row…just how fast? Everyone can deadlift..just how much?

Since the first competition with about 70 athletes Festivus Games has grown to over 13,000 Athletes competing in 2015!

When you compete in the Festivus Games you can expect to be challenged but you can also expect to have a lot of fun! With our Novice class Festivus Games really is the perfect venue for your first functional-fitness competition. Our Intermediate class will provide enough challenge for all but the best of the best athletes soFestivus Games can be your competition of choice for years! And all new is the Masters 45+ division which we’re excited to offer.

On April 16th, 2016 Novice, Intermediate and Masters athletes from across the country and various parts of the world will compete, all on the same day, in this one-day event. Each host will award the top three finishers in each division for both male and female classes.

Please help us to promote this event by sharing it with everyone you know. Friends, neighbors, family, co-workers, or fellow athletes. Anyone beginner or intermediate is able to compete in this competition. I’m still waiting to raffle off my next prize for signing up once we get just 5 more people registered.

Lastly, I know that there has been talk that CrossFit Beaufort will be starting their CrossFit Kids program once again. And, guess what??? Yes, it is true!!!  We are happy to announce CrossFit Kids is making a comeback!!! We will be finalizing all of the details over the next couple of weeks, and will be getting the information out to you. (Ages, schedule, cost, etc……)

Looking forward to it!!!

Thank you all for your support!

Under the Mercy,

FAQ

What is the South Carolina Personhood Project?

It’s an effort to place a question on the ballot in November, 2016, that will allow voters to amend the South Carolina Constitution to extend legal protection to preborn persons beginning at conception.

What is the process for getting that question on to the ballot?

Two-thirds of South Carolina state Representatives and Senators have to vote for the respective bills (Senate, S719, House, H4093) that have already been introduced to place this question on the ballot.

What does the question say and how will it amend the SC Constitution?

The question will ask: “Must Article I of the Constitution of this State be amended so as to add Section 3.a. to provide that the privileges and immunities of citizens of South Carolina and the United States shall not be abridged, so that no person shall be deprived of life without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws. These rights shall extend to both born and preborn persons beginning at conception?”

What is the likelihood that this will pass if it gets on the ballot?

The exact same amendment was proposed as an advisory question on the GOP primary ballot in June, 2014, and it passed with almost 80% of the vote.

How can I find out if my state Senator and Representative are supporting this effort?

Go to our pledge signers page. This will show you who has signed a pledge of support and/or co-sponsored these bills. If your Senator or Representative has not done either, contact them, tell them that you are a constituent, and respectfully ask them to sign a pledge of support or co-sponsor the bill. The pledge can be downloaded here. If you do not know who your legislators are, enter your address at http://www.scstatehouse.gov/legislatorssearch.phpand their names will pop up.

Won’t the Federal courts strike down the amendment even if it is passed?

If a Federal court strikes down this amendment, that could be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, setting up a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, which was based in part on the idea that since the personhood of preborn babies had not been established in law, therefore these human lives were not protected as persons under the Constitution.

How would this amendment affect birth control or in vitro fertilization?

This amendment would not affect any type of birth control that acts solely to prevent conception, nor in vitro fertilization processes that do not destroy embryos.

What if someone claims that this amendment is unconstitutional and a waste of taxpayer dollars to litigate through the Federal Courts?

Roe v. Wade itself was unconstitutional, and it must be challenged like other wrong decisions such as Dred Scott. Since God requires that civil government establish  justice, it is a worthy and proper use of taxpayer money for the state of South Carolina to fight to stop the destruction of innocent human life.

Share Christ this Summer with CYIA!

From Mark Mansell –CYIA christian youth in action

Does your teen 15 or older have a heart for Christ and a desire to share the Gospel? Christian Youth in Action, or CYIA, offers a summer internship specifically designed to train students to share their faith.

CYIA is a missions program specifically designed for high school and college age students. Training, materials and ministry opportunities are provided to help students confidently share their faith with children in their very own communities. Each year approximately 100 students across SC reach out to nearly 10,000 children throughout the state.

Some of your training will be held at your local CEF office.  However, a  week-long training school is held at Columbia International University in Columbia, South Carolina. CIU is one of the Premier Missions  universities in the world.   They believe strongly in the CYIA program. They offer tuition discounts to students who serve in CYIA and wish to further their education. There is a cost for your materials, training, meals and lodging. Your local CEF representative will help you discover ways of inviting others to invest in your missions training to help cover some of the expenses.
