CSB Battalion 6468 at Chapelgate

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. Planning and preparation are shared by student and adult leaders to learn and exercise leadership skills in a variety of activities and settings. Above all, the Lordship of Jesus Christ is acknowledged. The gospel is woven throughout everything we do. To God be the glory.

Notes from November 10th

Hi gang,
Well we've finished Backyard Ballistics and started Small Engine Repair this week. For those who still need to finish off your test (memorizing the verse) you have until next week to demonstrate your mastery to Lt. Tallman. I think we'll start dismantling our engines next week and may get a little grimy so wear something appropriate.

Blessings,
Capt. Hayden
