Midway Baptist Church was the sponsor of the Battle of the Youth Groups held on Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Polk County Recreation Complex beside Polk County Middle School.
This was an awesome record breaking year of 10 churches from across North Carolina, including Pea Ridge Baptist, Mill Spring Baptist and Mountain Valley Baptist from the Polk Baptist Association, coming together to have a day of fun, fellowship, sporting events and worship.
A total of 236 registered students and student leaders attended. Midway had 45 students registered.
Events were held such as basketball, soccer, kickball, ultimate frisbee, Bible battle and football. Two awards were given, overall winner of events, which went to Midway for the second year in a row, and then a new award for the team with the Most Christ Like Behavior, and this was awarded to Thrift Baptist Church, Charlotte, N.C.
Anyone interested in participant in the Battle of the Youth Groups next year can contact Rev. Peter McDonald at Midway Baptist Church for more information.
