BTLN UPDATE

 

 

 

 

It was Jersey night at Battalion this week. Zach Gobbett was officially made the 24th Sergeant of Battalion 3739! Congrats Zach! As you can see from the pictures Ben Jepsen's jersey is on display in the room. Ben will be the sixth Sergeant to receive his jersey later this year. (I love this "One Forward and One Back" Sergeant jersey program.)
We continued our Bible study series this week with a look at Jesus' baptism and the transfiguration. Why these two events together you ask? In both of these events God the father claims Jesus as his Son.

Jesus Baptism
Matthew 3:16,17 - As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lightning on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

The Transfiguration
Mark 9:7 - Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"

Jesus is the Son of God and God the Son!

Hebrews 1:8 - But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom." (This is God the Father speaking.)

We played Handball this week and this time around the teams were evenly matched. After many goals, a few dog piles and a couple of head shots Owen and Devin's team got the last goal for the win.(I think it was Nathan Klassen that had the winner.)
Dalton Shore started us off in Bulldog and after a few rounds it was down to Zach and Stevie for the Helmet. A couple of rounds later Stevie emerged the victor! Congrats Stevie!

Next week is Battalion Baseball under the Lights at James Donaldson Park! Plenty of Baseball and plenty of Menno! Remember, Battalion is like Heaven, there is always room for one more!
