The Christian Service Brigade Battalion program is for young men in the 7th - 12th grades who want to develop as Christian leaders through fun and adventure. Weekly meetings are punctuated by monthly trips to experience God's creation, serve others, and discover new interests.

Welcome to CSB Battalion 6468 , '09-'10

Hi all,
I hope you've had a great summer break. As you're preparing to start school again, I hope you're also thinking about participating in Battalion this year as well. My prayer for this year is that we see more clearly God's soverein hand in our lives and that our understanding of the Gospel and love for the Savior will grow. Our first meeting this year will be on September 8th starting at 7:00pm in the gym at Chapelgate Presbyterian Church. I think we have some exciting things planned for the year, some old favorites and some new, that you'll really enjoy. Starting off the year, we'll look at some fun activities from the book, Backyard Ballistics. Then we'll move into a unit on small engine repair (sorry, we're going to remove any excuse for you not to mow the lawn) and then on to SCUBA diving in the Spring. If our plans work out, you'll have the opportunity to experience actual SCUBA diving (with certified instructors in a controlled setting of course). Our weekend outings should be a lot of fun too with service opportunites, canoeing, and backpacking in our plans. In fact, we're going to hit the ground running with our first campout on Sept. 11th-13th. We'll meet at 5:30pm on Friday the 11th and travel to Camp Hemlock in Wardensville, WV to participate in some work projects at the camp. We'll save time for some fun stuff too then return home around 5:oopm Sunday afternoon. We'll provide transportation, two breakfast meals, and Saturday dinner. You bring your camping gear, Bible, pack a lunch for Saturday, and bring some money for a couple of fast-food stops. The cost will $7. If you need some gear, we can take care of that too. I hope you'll be able to join in this first service project. I'm really looking forward to this year and to seeing you all on the 8th.

Blessings,
Capt. Hayden
