BTLN UPDATE

 

Congrats to Aiden on his third helmet of the year! Brennan, Andrew, and Kedir were all close to winning British Bulldog this week. Kedir and Andrew both got taken down, leaving Aiden and Brennan for the final two. Aiden and Brennan both went down during the same round at the end, but Aiden made further progress, earning the helmet and the win. 

This week we played stickball. It was super energetic with all the boys chanting during the game. All four teams were playing well, with a bunch of home runs being scored during the first inning. Jason's team scored the most runs and won stickball.

Stickball Final Scores

Jason's team - 11

Matthias/Luke's team - 10

Josh's team - 9

Mataeus's team - 7

This week's Bible study topic was on contentment.

Here are some Bible passages we read on contentment:

 Hebrews 13:5  -  Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Philippians 4:12-13  -  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

People are always searching for contentment, but are never fully satisfied because they are not searching in the right place. God is the true and only source for contentment. God will always be with you, and will give you the strength you need. Trust in God.

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came this Wednesday to Battalion! Don't forget, it is the Battalion Olympics and shirt night next week! Don't be late! Bring a friend!

BTLN UPDATE - MIKE NIGHT

Congrats to Derek on his first helmet ever! Jonny and Kedir were also at the end with Derek, but Derek would not be denied his first British Bulldog win. Congrats again to Derek!

This week we played Mike! Mike is always an exciting game with the strobe light and the balls bouncing everywhere. This time we played with only two teams, instead of four, because there was a smaller group of boys. The game went well with only two teams. The scores were going back and forth until the end, when Matthias's team beat Josh's team.

Mike Night Final Scores

Matthias's team - 224

Josh's team - 215

This week our Bible study topic was faithfulness.

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

Psalm 36:5  -  Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

Psalm 86:15  -  But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

Psalm 100:5  -  For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

God is always faithful, and will be with us through it all. The Bible tells us many times that the Lord is faithful, because it is very important for us to know that.

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came this week to Battalion! We appreciate it, and hope you come back next week! Bring a friend!

BTLN UPDATE

Congrats to Caleb on his first helmet ever! Brennan and Derek were also there at the end, but Caleb wouldn't be denied his first British Bulldog win!

This week at Battalion we played Handball! We had two balls in play at the beginning, and ended with only one ball. Gabe scored the final goal for Jason's team, taking the win!

 This week our Bible study topic was on Kindness and Goodness.

Here are some Bible Passages on the subjects of Kindness and Goodness:

2 Peter 1:3  -  His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

Colossians 3:12  -  Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

2 Thessalonians 1:11  -  With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.

God wants us to show goodness and kindness to one another, just as He did to us. Kindness is acts of goodness affecting others. We can learn to display the fruits of the spirit by following God's perfect example.

Thanks to all the boys and leaders for showing up this week to Battalion! See you at the church next Wednesday! Bring a friend!

BTLN UPDATE - G*I*T*D BASKETBALL

 

Congrats Jaxon! This is Jaxon's second helmet of the Battalion Season! Jaxon is now tied for second with Bryce in the race for Winston! Derek and Jaxon both went down the last round, but Jaxon made more progress, giving him the win! Congrats again to Jaxon!

This week we played G*I*T*D Basketball! It is awesome getting to play with the glowing basketballs! We ended the game with overtime, playing the first team to three baskets wins. Coady made an awesome basket from the opposite free throw line, earning the first basket for the green team. Malcolm and Gabe scored the last two baskets for the green team, with the pink team not scoring a basket during overtime. The green team won, beating the pink team 3-0!

This week our Bible study topic was about the hope of every Christian.

Here are some of the Bible verses we read:

Titus 1:1-2  -  Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness- in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.

1 Thessalonians 5:8  -  But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

Hebrews 11:1  -  Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

As Christians, we have a hope that is firm and secure, because we know that God cannot lie. We have hope of salvation, eternal life, the appearing of Jesus Christ, and of Christ in us. We can have faith in God, because we are sure of what we hope for. God is always truthful and faithful.

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came to Battalion this week! Battalion is at the church again next week! Bring a friend!
