Pac-Man Softball Team won the Championship!

Pac-Man Softball Team won the Championship!

They finally did it! The Gateway Baptist Church Pac-Man Softball Team won the Championship against Heritage Baptist Church ! Gateway had 3 softball teams that played this year incorporating guys from the Kid’s Club. It was a rainy season so a lot of the games got pushed back to June and it was hot and humid. Stretch Armstrong advanced to the second round of the tournament and had a very exciting final game. We thought two Gateway teams would be playing each other in the championship. Scoring 9 runs in the last inning only to lose by 2 points, it was still an exhilarating game! Many fans from Gateway came out to cheer Pac-Man on and “help” Drew coach. It was a fabulous win and we are so proud of our Pac-Man team!

   

 

Gateway 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament

The Collins Life Group initiated “Always a Time to Serve” in July and August to piggy-back off of our “Time to Serve” events that we always plan in December. A few Saturdays ago, we had a 3-on-3 Black Top Basketball Tournament. God blessed this event in amazing ways. Many people from the church came out to volunteer and help. The Brighton Estates Homeowner’s Association donated two extra goals to our church because so many people form the neighborhood came out to play ball throughout the year. We had 8 or 10 teams sign up to play in the tournament. Volunteers helped with registration, setting up tents, music, cooking and serving food and it was a day of community celebration. The Montgomery Advertiser (local newspaper) was on hand and created a video (see below). It rained on Saturday so we continued the tournament on Sunday. It rained Sunday too, but about 4:00 pm the rain stopped and all of the teams came back including the old-timers (so they called themselves) who won all of their games. We set up tables and had hot dogs on the lawn Sunday and many expressed interested in growing closer in their walk with the Lord.
