Congrats Bryce! This was Bryce's first Helmet ever! Bryce has been so close in the past, but now he has his first Helmet! I am always so happy for all the first time Helmet winners! Way to go Bryce!
This week we played the New Btln Trifecta! We started with Btln Sumo Wrestling! We used the exercise balls from Mike 23 and the head gear from Btln Boxing. Both teams each had a team of two working together each round in the octagon. At first it looked like Josh's team would win big in Sumo, but Alexei's team would end up taking the win and the 1-0 lead in the Trifecta!

The second game of the Trifecta was Fire-Fever-Flood. The game was very fast paced. Everyone was exhausted at the end of the game! The final two were Luke for Alexei's team and Jonathan for Josh's team. Luke taking the win, giving Alexei's team the 2-0 victory in the Trifecta!
In the Bible study we did a character study on Peter.
Matthew 14:22-33 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshipped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
I have always loved Peter because he isn't cautious. Peter was one of those guys that you would always know what he was thinking, because he would tell you! Peter often gets a bad wrap because of his compulsive nature, but he was the one that actually got of the boat during the storm! Peter's passion for following Jesus and his trust in Jesus is something that we can all emulate! Peter's mistake in the passage is not getting out of the boat and trusting Jesus, it was taking his eyes off of Jesus. It isn't any different for us! We need to continually keep our eyes on Jesus, and always trust him!
THE CAPTAIN
