“The Kings” are Crowned Kickball Champions!

September 28th, 2008

We just finished up our first ever Skybacher Ministries Kickball Kickoff.  It was so much fun.  We had four teams.  Ambridge Ambush, The Lanky Midgets from Ohio UP, West Side, and The Kings.  There was a lot of great kickball action, but in the end and just before dark, The Kings beat West Side for the title.  The Kings took home the crown without losing a game and with some great leadership from their team captain Vince Trombetto, who had an inside the park home-run.  I had a blast since the action wasn’t so intense that I actually could talk to people.  We will definitely do this one again.  Congratulations to “The Kings” of Kickball!  Click here for more photos of this event!!

Pray & Play- Stand Firm!!

September 24th, 2008

Another week of Pray & Play, this week we played the growing sport of Whip-It, and the always popular dodgeball.  We had 2 new Geneva students come out Gwen and Deeks.  And were reminded to work on standing firm in our faith this school year with a movie clip from Braveheart.  Next week we will not have regular Pray & Play but will meet at Green Valley Park for the Kickball Tournament at 4:00 p.m.  Hope to see you there.

Pray & Play starts with a Bang, (and a few thuds, crashes, & booms)

September 7th, 2008

We just finished our first night of the 2008-2009 school year.  We had 29 kids show up which was a bit overwhelming but awesome!!  Everyone seemed to be in pretty good shape after getting back to school.  We played ultimate frisbee, and cone ball.  For prayer time we shared our favorite summer moment, and a prayer for the school year.  A great start to Pray & Play.  We’ll be back again next Sunday from 6:30 - 8:30, Hope to see you there.
