It is December and it is nearly Christmas again! (I am finally getting caught up!) December is such a joyful time of year. Jesus' birth brought us love, peace, hope and joy! (to name a few) What an amazing time of the year to have a birthday!

Happy Birthday and may God bless you again this year!

I don't think that I have ever been this late for a Btln Birthday post! We are already ten days into December and I am finally getting the November Birthday post done! I didn't want to miss the opportunity to highlight these guys! I am sorry that this is so late!

Happy Birthday and may God bless you again this year!
Ephesians 4:1-2   As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

BTLN UPDATE - THE THREE B'S

Congrats Isaac! This was Isaac's first Helmet of the Btln season! Alex was in the final two with Isaac. Both Isaac and Alex were taken down on the final round, Isaac making it farther across the gym than Alex, taking the Helmet and the win!

Barq's has been a part of the Three B's for years, But this year it was time for a change. This year we made the switch to Jones Soda with custom Btln labels! The Btln Jones was a big hit! Most of the guys took the Bottles home to put on display.

This year there were 40 guys at the Three B's! The guys devoured 10 large Battalion Baconator pizzas, 4 cases of Jones rootBeer, over 100 Bonuts and two huge pots of Beans!

At the Three B's we are always short on time, so we usually only have time to play three games of MurderBall. In the first game, Ben's team easily Beat my team. The next two games were different, my team winning Both and winning the series 2-1!

Thanks to my mom for making the Bonuts!

Special thanks to all the leaders who have helped out so much in the First Half of the Btln year! We could not have Btln without you!


The Second Half of the Btln year begins on Wednesday, January 10, 2018!

BTLN UPDATE - THE 23RD BATTALION OLYMPICS

Congratulation to Luke Martens! Luke is the 2017 Battalion Olympic Champion! For the first time in three years we have a champion that is in grade twelve! In the five events Luke finished with a first, second, third and two fourth place finishes for a total of 26 points!
This year we had 28 competitors in the 23rd Battalion Olympics! One of the biggest stories coming out of the 23rd Btln Olympics had to be Isaac coming twenty minutes late and finishing in second place! Keegan also came late and was able to win Arm Wrestling! Four out of the five event winners were also winners last year! Only Keegan was a first time event winner.
