Happy New Year! and Missions Fest

Hi there,

A slightly late wishing of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. God's best to you in 2010.

This Thursday January 7 we will be having a special guest at Battalion. Be sure to make sure everyone in your squad is there. Our guest is Kevin W. Kevin is a civil engineer with a ministry called Engineering Ministries International. He has some amazing stories to tell from being all over the world helping design and build various projects for missions agencies and groups. He'll be showing pictures and sharing all kinds of things. Don't miss it.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are when MissionsFest is happening. This is worth attending even just to come by the CSB booth and make sure that Captain Howard (who is also the regional rep) isn't lonely. There also may be jellybeans.

See you Thursday.

Lt. Garth

Christmas Party Sleepover

Hi guys,

Just a reminder about the Christmas Party sleepover happening at the church starting about 5:30pm on Friday December 18 and finishing about 9am the next day. All kinds of activities will be happening. There will be board games, floor hockey and movies. Bring a musical instrument if you want to jam. Lt. Garth will be bringing his synth and maybe we can make a bunch of noise at some point.

There is the Battalion Gift Exchange. Bring a gift valued at $5 or less and participate. Just remember to have it wrapped.

This party is also for Battalion 3273 Alumni. All you former members, think about coming. For more information contact one of the leaders.

To the leaders: If I've forgotten to mention anything please add it in the comments.
