Battalion Almuni (family reunion)

well my friends its the most wonderful time of the year! BATTALION ALUMNI! so i believe the rules go that if you are in grade 11, 12 or out of batttalion and you were once involved with battalion you qualify to attend the 2nd annual battalion alumni! we will be meeting at the Gospel Chapel at 8pm! so ya show up to the church for the family reunion! we will be playing some games, catching up on some memories, and then heading to my place (ben jepsen) for some relaxing (aka hot tub and bruces cooking). so i hope a lot of guys come out even if you were at battalion for a short time you are more than welcome to come and hang out with your brothers. hope you are all having a great christmas break and i hope to see you thursday night dec 27th! keep it real

-bent

P.S. i apologize for the lame pics i am using my moms comp cause mine broke and i still dont have it back! later

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

 

I was thinking about Christmas and a scripture passage came to mind, Philippians 2:5-11. Verse 6 talks about Jesus being God.(Who, being in very nature God,)No matter what anyone tells you Jesus is God!(see also John 1:1,2,14) Verse 7 (but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.) This is amazing, the God that created the universe decided to come to earth as a baby, born in a manger! Verse 8 tells us why he came to earth.(he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!) Jesus came to earth to die for our sins!(see also 1Timothy 1:15) Verse 9 talks about Jesus as he is now.(Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,) He isn't the lowly Jesus that was born in a manger or nailed to a cross. He is again exalted as he should be. We get to verses 10 and 11 and we remember why Jesus has left us (christians) on earth.(that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.) A judgement is coming and Jesus will be the judge. He has left us behind to warn everyone and tell them the good news, that Jesus came to earth as a baby, died on a cross for our sins and that he also rose from the dead. We should celebrate Jesus' birth but we should not forget his death and resurrection. We should also remember that he is now exalted in heaven and is there preparing a place for you and me! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

13th annual BATTALION OLYMPICS

I'm not here to make any predictions except to say it's gonna be another great night at Battalion, may the best man win! Can Cam Thompson become the fifth man to win back to back Olympics? Come tomorrow to find out. Make sure to show up early!

THE CAPTAIN

BULLDOG CHAMPION!

Here it is guys, the trophy for the overall Champion! How do you win? We have been keeping track of the weekly winners of the helmet. The one who wins the helmet the most, at the end of the year will be our Bulldog Champion! As we head into the Olympics here are the standings. Drew Brown and Devin Chursinoff both have two wins each. With one win we have, Nathan Ball, Brian Burdikin, Zach Gobbett, Jake Hachey, Kevin Hayashi, Kaleb Horkoff, Dalton Shore and Cam Thompson. We are almost halfway through the year and our leaders only have two wins, that means everyone is still in the race for the Bulldog! (This is a true British Bulldog it is coming from England!)

BTLN UPDATE

Sorry the updates have been so slow, my computer will be in a more convenient place shortly. As you can see from the pictures Jake and Nathan have won the Helmet the last two weeks, the first time for both this year, congrats guys! We have had two weeks of Bible studies on Joseph, how he conquered temptation, and how even when we make good decisions, it may not look like things are working out for us, but in the end if we choose right God will work all things out for our good. Two weeks ago we tried kick the bucket(kick the can with a strobe light), Jason was kick the buckets first victim as he ran head first into Owen, all in all it was a lot of fun. With the construction there is a new room at the end of the gym we used it when we played bulldog, it was dubbed THE FUNNEL to bad it couldn't stay like that it was sweet! Anyways more updates to come!

DAN'S NEW TATTOO!

WOW! I'm speechless that thing is wicked, I don't really know what to say. I can't believe Dan went through with it. The tattoo looks awesome Dan! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'm going to leave it at that.

CAM TAKES THE HELMET!

Sorry this update is so late, life is just a little busy right now. Anyways we had a good night last week, (don't we always?) Dylan did the Bible study on Jacob and Esau, and he talked about honesty among other things, it was sweet! We played murder ball and if I remember correctly my team won. Then it was time for bulldog and no Devin, yah he was supposed to be in the middle but he was at home sleeping! Devin slept right through Battalion! Jeremy Hoodikoff quit hockey so he was able to come out to Battalion! Battalion 3 - Hockey 0 . We had cheeseburgers for random Bible check and Cam won the helmet, what a good night! This week wear warm clothes because we will be outside.

THE CAPTAIN

ENOUGH SAID!

If you can't figure out what is going on here then you need help.

BATTALION HAT?

Jason, Cam and I were talking about a Battalion hat, so I thought I would take a stab at it. I did this over at Lids.com. I'm not sure about the white but it seemed to work the best with their program. The price on the hats would be $38.99 USD, not to bad for a custom hat. Leave some feedback.

THE CAPTAIN

BATTALION LOCKER ROOM!

Well it doesn't look like much right now, but just give us some time! The Elders of the Gospel Chapel have told us we can have the two rooms directly below the fireside room, this is an answer to prayer! Thanks first of all to God and also to the Elders for seeing our vision!(We know that any good ideas we have come from God!) With Battalion always growing we needed a room to meet in. We will take the wall out between the two rooms making one. We would like to make the room look something like the Canucks dressing room, with benches all the way around the room, coat hangers, nameplates, jersey cases for our shirts and a trophy case. We can start on the room when the new kitchen is done. If you have any ideas for the room let us know, dream big because you never know!

THE CAPTAIN

WRESTLEMANIA 3

It was the best wrestling event we have ever had!Forty-five guys competed for the belt and Devin Chursinoff came out on top! I geuss no one was man enough to throw Devin over the ropes! Congratulations to Devin for winning the Heavyweight Division and to Mitchell Bekker for winning the Lightweight Division!
