Foosball

So we are going to be having a Foosball tournament this week so get ready for that. See you all there, except for Luke.

POUTINE!!!!

So I guess everyone gets busy on Spring Break. We had only 2 guys at 7:20 last night so we decided to call it a night and go catch the third period of the Canucks game. I always love just hanging out because you never know what might happen and last night is a classic example. I don't even remember how we got talking about poutine but we decided that we must have a poutine night at Battalion. This is a genius idea, I can't wait for May 5th!

Hockey Night in Grand Forks

Well Lazer Tag was awesome last night. Thanks to Jasen for bringing his friends otherwise we would have had a bit of a small group. Hopefully we see you guys again. Next week we are back at the church. Check your calendars because Olympics are coming up and so is the Branding weekend. If you didn't get a permission slip for Branding this week then talk to me on Tuesday, I will have more.

Also coming soon is HOCKEY NIGHT IN GRAND FORKS. Battalion 3739, plays hockey for their Battalion night one of the weeks of Spring Break. Hopefully a few of us can get there for that. It should be the second week of spring break, which would be WEDNESDAY MARCH 25, we are waiting final confirmation on that. This will be a quick trip there and back in the same night. Don Cherry won't be there unfortunately but maybe Todd Bertuzzi.....

Talk to Dan if you want to come.

Lazer Tag

Well another night of Battalion is over. We had a bit of a small turnout last night as only 6 guys showed up. Charlie made a guest appearance as well so that was pretty cool. Our bible study was on faith and how faith includes believeing, trusting, and action.

We read in Hebrews 11:1, that "faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

We also read in James 2:19 "you believe there is one God, Good! Even the demons believe that" so we know that believing is not enough.

We also read about Abraham and Isaac and how Abraham was willing to sacrifice his only son even though God had promised him many descendants. We talked about how his faith required that he trust God that he would do what he promised even though it seemed impossible.

We also read in James 2:17 "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead." So we know that faith also includes action on our part. We talked again about Abraham, and Noah, and Moses and others who had faith and acted on it even when people considered them to be crazy.

Remember, next week is Lazer Tag. Meet at Planet Lazer at 6:45pm, bring $5. We will be done at 8:30pm and you can get picked up there as well. Some of us will probably go to Boston Pizza after as well so plan for that if you can. Make sure that the guys who didn't make it this week know, tell them if you see them. We should have some extra spots as well if you want to bring a friend. See you Tuesday!!!

P.S. I posted the Bible reading for the month of March. I know that some of you guys said that it was too much to read in one day. I was thinking that if that is the case then pick either the new testament or the old testament and just do one. Don't forget to post up here or tell me at Battalion, it encourages me to keep reading if I know that some of you guys are doing it. Also don't forget to think about whether you would like to say some of the memory verses in church, talk to me next week about it.

BRANDING

Well we have a problem, there is too much snow at the ranch to start branding this weekend. We are having to rebook this trip till the middle of April, we are thinking of leaving on the 17 and coming back on the 19, more info will come later. Any questions, please ask.



We have talked to the ranch and we will be going to brand some cattle. This will be a weekend that you will never forget. Al said that he could set up some cow wrestling for us as well for something else to do. I didn't get a chance to ask him but we could probably play slap the bull, and do some cow tipping if we wanted to as well.
