Only 2 weeks left in the 2024 season!
It is hard to believe but we are nearing the end of the 2024 Upward Basketball season. Join us for Week 7 starting THIS Saturday, February 24, at 9 a.m. 🏀
This week’s theme verse comes from Matthew 11:28:
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
The key idea goes right along with that: “God can help me find rest when I need it.” Jesus’s invitation in Matthew 11 is one of the most tender yet resounding extensions of grace in Scripture. It is an invitation that is still open today since we are still people who are in need of rest, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This is what Jesus came to offer. He came to show us how to rest by offering himself as our true and better rest.
Here’s the list of this week’s games:
9 a.m. Panthers vs Bears
10:15 a.m. Leopards vs Falcons
11:20 a.m. Golden Flash vs Sooners
12:25 p.m. Hoosiers vs Green Wave
1:30 p.m. Mavericks vs Heat
2:40 p.m. Warriors vs Bucks
Upward Closing Ceremonies, March 9, at 6 p.m.
Make your plans to join us on Saturday, March 9, at 6 p.m. for a fun-filled evening of games, refreshments, and live music as we close out the 2024 season in style!
