Arctic Blast Weekend 2012 – A Whole Lotta Dodgeball Fun!

John — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:15:53 +0000

This past month we held the Annual Dodgeball Arctic Blast. Nine teams from different areas, and different denominations all over Beaver County came to battle it out. In the end it was two teams from Freedom battling for the title as The Dub Club took down the Beast Squad to take home the Arctic Blast Trophy. Congratulations Dub Club.

The following day it was the elementary students turn. It was another packed house as kids battled it out and heard a in high action dodgeball, then took a break to hear a message about how our help comes from the Lord. To finish it off kids got to battle their parents for a great close to the night.

A Completely Fun Blizzard!!

John — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:08:16 +0000

This past Friday night Skybacher Ministries held its annual Broomball Blizzard Tournament. Twelve teams took to the ice in hopes of winning the Blizzard Trophy. There were a lot of bumps and bruises and some banged up knees, but it wasn’t stopping anyone from getting to the playoffs. At the break everyone was encouraged to follow Mary’s (Jesus’ Mother) lead and point to God as the awesome one who made gave them their gifts and abilities. When the break was over it was heating up on the ice, and 4 games actually came down to shootouts. In the end Team Jesus would grind and find a way to take home their second straight Broomball Blizzard Title. Congratulations to Team Jesus and Da Bears who were the Runners-up. It was a great night for all. We’ll see ya after Christmas for the Arctic Blast Dodgeball Tournament on January 22nd.

Stuffed With Fun!!!

John — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:09:58 +0000

Skybacher Ministries had it’s 8th Annual Turkey & Stuffing Volleyball Tournament. Five teams came to play, and would battle it out for the Turkey Trophy! It was a great night of volleyball! At the break we took exactly one minute’s time to see how many things we could come up with that we were thankful for. The list reached 120 in just a single minute. It was a great reminder that we live truly blessed lives. After the break it was onto the playoffs. West Side would beat the Block Party for the victory. It brought back a lot of memories of days when they used to dominate Skybacher Tournaments. It was a great tournament stuffed with fun, good sports, good times, and good news!
