Below is an article I found on an adventist website. The Watchtower stole most of the adventists other ideas...maybe next year?
ADVENTIST FOOTBALL LEAGUE BEGINS A NEW YEAR - Trevor and Andrene Young
Established in the year 2003, the Adventist Football League is now well into its fourth season and things are looking good. As one would expect from a new organisation, we had our baptism of fire, struggled with discipline and organisational efficiency, but through our collective efforts and the abiding grace of God, we have weathered the early storms and are now poised for great things.
As we start the new year, the League wishes to thank all its well-wishers and supporters for their prayers, hard work, dedication, participation and general support that enabled us to progress this far. We hope that with God's continued guidance and blessings, and your continued support, we will make greater strides towards achieving our stated aims. These are as follows:
· To enhance inter-church communication and interaction.
· To improve fellowship, establish and develop new friendships between church members.
· To equip the youth of the Church with sporting skills, while assisting with their social and spiritual development.
· To encourage and facilitate greater interaction between the Church and the community, effectively bridging the Church/community gap, and thereby developing a more balanced community.
· To develop more effective role models by setting good standards, both on and off the football field by adhering to true Christian morals and principles.
· To draw people closer to Christ by demonstrating genuine Christian values and morals in all our endeavours
