BTLN UPDATE - MIKE 23

 




Congrats Brennan! This was Brennan's first helmet ever! Jaxon was there at the end of British Bulldog with Brennan this week, but Brennan was able to make it to the end, taking the helmet and the win!


This week we played Mike 23! There are 23 balls being thrown and kicked around, making the game really exciting! In Mike 23 there are multiple mini games, with the scores rising and falling throughout the series of games. The team with the most points at the end wins! Riley's team had 15 points at the end of the second last round, which made all the other teams target his team during the last round. This gave Luke's team the opportunity to jump ahead and take the win!

MIKE 23 FINAL SCORES
Luke's team - 6
Coady's team - 5
Josh's team - 2
Riley's team - 1


We've been going through the different fruits of the spirit as the themes for our Bible studies, with the first week going over love. In tonight's Bible study, we talked about joy!

Here are some of the Bible passages we read on the subject of joy:


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18  -  Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Romans 15:13  -  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 32:11  -  Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!


We learned to be joyful and to rejoice in the Lord our God! We also learned about how Paul and Silas were falsely accused, thrown in prison, and were beaten. They had all those bad things happen to them, but in spite of all that, they still sung praises to God in prison! We can still be joyful in spite of the bad circumstances we are put in because of God's goodness and love!


There are three weeks of Battalion in the books so far this year! Battalion is at the church next week! Thanks to everyone who came! Bring a friend next week!

BTLN UPDATE - POOL PARTY

 




The Battalion Headquarters is back, and so is Battalion 3739!!!

This last Wednesday we had the Battalion pool party, with 50 guys showing up! It was awesome to see so many boys at Battalion. After free time in the pool, we had our Belly Flop Competition!

Congrats to Jonathan Martens on winning the 2022 Belly Flop Competition!!! There were some other great belly flops by Greg and Jace, but Jonny slapped the pool hard with every belly flop in the competition, giving him the win! Jonny also won in 2020, making him the winner of Back-to-Back Belly Flop Competitions! Congrats again to Jonny!

There were Hot dogs on the BBQ and ice cream cake from DQ, chips and pop in the basement after we were done swimming.
