Memory Verses

Well it has been quite a while since the blog had a post. My appologies. If you weren't at Battalion last night here is a summary of what you missed. We started the night off reading about the armor of God in Ephesians 6. We also had cheeseburgers for anyone who had their bible with them. Suprisingly even though I told everyone last week there were still some guys missing theirs.

After that we started out with some british bulldog, which is always good. Then we played football for a bit. My team got destroyed in the football game. I think Ryan got 3 touchdowns on us.

In Council Ring we talked about the sword of the spirit and how it can be used in our lives. We read about how Jesus used it to resist temptation and how he had to know the bible well to know that Satan was using verses out of context to tempt him. After that we handed out the Memory Verse sheets so you can get started on memorizing. I said it last night but I will say it again. You have four months to get the verses done, out of that four months you will be on holidays for a month of it, including Christmas and Spring breaks. Last year nobody finished so there was no trip to go on. In order to try to create more incentive this year we decided that the guys who finished the memory verses would get to decide what we would do for a trip.

Afterwards, Phil, Bob, Luke and I, talked about the things we want to do in the spring. Keep checking back in the upcoming events section, I will update that soon.

We also started brainstorming some possible trips for the memory verse guys. Some ideas we had so far were: 6 Flags, West Edmonton Mall, Creation Fest, Vancouver Whitecaps game. We'll have to see who actually finishes.

Here are some pictures of West Ed to get you excited. This waterpark is amazing!!!
