2011 Boys Brigade and Pioneer Girls Pinewood Derby

Wednesday, March 23rd was the annual Boys Brigade and Pioneer Girls Pinewood Derby race. Over 50 boys and girls from 1st grade through 6th grade participated in making pinewood derby cars and racing them down our track.The evening began with Pastor Dan Adams giving a short devotion on running a good race in our walk with God and life. After this inspiring talk the racing began with the crowd shouting those three famous words in racing - "Start Your Engines"! Awards were given out for the top four racers and best design for each age group. The top four boy racers will be moving on to a regional race in Akron later this month. At the end of the night the fastest boy faced off against the fastest girl, with a 6th grade Stockade boy taking the top spot. During the evening the Pioneer Girls Junior Guides sold refreshments to raise money for Stony Glen Camp. The camp is expanding its facilities. Both the boys and girls attend the camp and both groups thought they could help raise a little money for them. Over $100 will be donated thanks to everyone's generosity.

Pioneer Girls' Old Fashioned Street Fair

AN OLD FASHIONED STREET FAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER—What an experience for our Pioneer Girls as they enjoyed the evening with their dads at our special valentine event.  Dads & daughters enjoyed the evening playing hopscotch, jumping rope, 3 legged races, hoola hooping, cup stacking, some special snacks, and much more.  Both Dads and daughters were heard saying they hadn’t done some of these things in years.  The evening culminated with a beautiful drawing by a local artist along with a special letter from Jesus.  What a great night to be together with dads, uncles, grandfathers, or other special friends.

Stockade Overnighter

The PHBC Stockade, for boys from 3rd grade through 6th grade had their annual overnighter recently. Over 30 boys and dad's were together through the night for games, stories, contests and food (sleeping was optional). Some of the activities included: Battle Ball (the boys #1 favorite game), kickball, basketball, relay races, paper airplane contests, bible trivia contest, and a bible story. The boys and dads also learned about the City Mission, which is where some of the money collected with aluminum cans and shares went for this year. Stockade is open to all boys 3rd grade through 6th grade. We meet every Wednesday evening during Family Night. Each week we have games, a bible story and achievement time. If you have never been to Stockade now is a great time to check us out. Dad's you are welcome to join in as well!
