Students from College Heights Christian School (CHCS), Parkview Adventist Academy (PAA), Coralwood Academy, and Peace Christian School enjoyed a weekend of spiritual renewal and flagball October 19-20.  Organized by Stacy Hunter, vice president for student services, the event was jointly sponsored by CUC, PAA and CHCS.

"We organized this event because we want students to have great opportunities to worship and play together," said Hunter.  "Weekends like this offer students the chance to make new friends, develop skills in teamwork and leadership, and refresh spiritually."

Eleven teams in three divisions participated in the tournament.  The Intro Division consisted of players in grades 5 and 6.  Junior high students formed the Junior Division and high school students made up the Senior Division.  Each team played five games over the course of Saturday night and Sunday.

Friday evening all tournament participants enjoyed a Youth Rally held in the CHCS gym.  The speaker was Oscar Halvorson, pastor of the Edmonton South Seventh-day Adventist Church.  Music and additional programming was presented by the 49 students from Peace Christian School who made the trip all the way from Chetwynd, BC.
