FIRST NIGHT OF 08/09 SEASON

 

Well the first night is in the books! It was a really good night, there were around 35-40 of us in the gym. It was really strange to not have access to the kitchen, but times change. First off we handed out the first ever Sergeant jersey, they look sweet. We are starting the "One forward and one back" program were we will hand out two jerseys every year. This year Drew and Devin will receive their jerseys, next year Jason and next years sergeant will receive a jersey. Anyways after the jersey presentation we played murder ball and did a best of seven series and my team had a 3-2 lead but lost two in a row to go down 4-3. Next we told the guys that we would be going through first and second Timothy and Titus this year for Bible studies. We read about the Philippian Jailor and how it must have made a big difference in Timothy's life to witness what Paul and Silas had to endure.(Acts 16:1-3,16-34) We finished the night with Bulldog which never disappoints, and Sammy J started off the year with a win. Way to go Sammy! At the end of the night Jeremy and I pulled Kevin aside and asked him to be a Corporal. So our Non-Coms are set, Drew Brown is Sergeant and Steven Feenstra, David Podovinikoff and Kevin Hayashi are the Corporals.(we haven't picked Lance Corporals yet) I'm excited about this group they will do a really good job. So the night could have ended there and it would have been amazing but the guys decided that we needed to go to Boston Pizza. So we cruised over to Castlegar and had a Non-Com meeting at B.P.. Not a lot got decided but we had a lot of fun. I think we started a new tradition, First Night & Last Night at Boston Pizza. Anyways next week is the pool party and the Belly flop competition at Mom and Dads, see yah there! One more thought, lots of leaders out tonight, that was really encouraging. Nice to have Blake back at Battalion.
