BTLN UPDATE

Congrats to Brennan on his third helmet of the Battalion year! He battled hard to win British Bulldog, and to earn himself another helmet! It it well deserved! Congrats again to Brennan!

This week we played Murderball! It is always super fun to play Murderball. Lance's team won the first game quite easily, but Jason's team came back and won the second game. Next, Lance's team won the third game, with Jason's team winning the fourth. It came down to the fifth game as a tie-breaker with Jason's team having a quick win! Jason's team beat Lance's team overall with a score of 3-2. Congrats to Jason's team on the Murderball wins!

This week our Bible study topic was on the subject of prayer. 

Here are some Bible passages we read on prayer:

Luke 5:16  -  But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Luke 11:1-4  -  One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." He said to them, "When you pray, say: "'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.'"

Ephesians 6:18  -  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

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.

We should pray to God often, with all kinds of prayers and requests. God is waiting, ready to listen to what we have to say to him. Not only is God ready to listen, but he also wants us to come to him in prayer. He loves us, and wants us to talk with him, and to have a good relationship with him. I encourage you all to pray!

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came to Battalion this week! We had an awesome night! Don't forget, the 16th Battalion Winterslam (Boxing) is this next Wednesday! Tell all your friends! It's going to be amazing!
