End of Year BBQ

Hi Guys,

Just a note that this Thursday, June 2nd is our end of the year BBQ. We will need to meet at the church at 6:00pm and then we will be heading to Belcarra park for food and fun. We'll be leaving the park about 8:45-9:00pm (that's when the park closes) and being back at the church about 20-30 mins after that.

Hope to see you there,

Lt. Garth

Summer Time coming

Hi Guys,

Just a reminder that summer time is basically here. That means we're having a much more relaxed (if that's possible) time with Battalion. This is a great time to invite friends out for when we're playing football, disc golf, or whatever (depending on weather of course).

Tough Guys was a lot of fun even with the rain.

See you Thursday,

Lt. Garth

Tough Guys is coming!

Hi Guys,

The 2011 Tough Guys weekend is coming soon. May 13-15. This is our annual Father/Son weekend which means that if you are a son or a father you qualify to come. You don't actually need to bring your father/son along to come but it would be great if you do. Uncles and nephews are eligible to be brought.

Below are links to a printable version of the poster and the registration form brochure. Fill out the registration form and hand it in at church on Sundays or Battalion on Thursdays.

Lt. Jim will be needing help with the obstacle course this year so please let him know if you're able to help.

Thursday was Bed Of Nails!

Yes, on Thursday March 31, 2011 we brought out Battalion 3273's very own Bed Of Nails and took turns enjoying the Points-a-pedic mattress. Here are some pics. (Attention Moms - the Laws of Physics make this safe.)

It was great fun. See you next Thursday.

Just a reminder about the hike up Eagle Mountain on Saturday April 16.

JR LaRose event summary

Last night's event with BC Lion JR LaRose was fantastic.

Those of us who were able to go met at the church and left at 6:20pm. We drove to New Life Baptist Church in Vancouver and got there about 10 mins before the event started. There were about 60-70 people there. We sang some songs and then the pastor at New Life invited JR to come and speak. He talked about growing up in a very poor part of town with no positive outlook on life. How his family was split up his whole life. His father was from Nigeria and his mother is aboriginal. He talked about struggling through life and meeting Jesus. He also talked about struggling in life when you try to live both as a christian and as a non-believer and how that doesn't work. At the end there was an invitation for those who wanted to know Jesus to meet Him.

For those of you who weren't able to make you missed out on a great event. And the pizza afterwards wasn't bad either.
