Spring Training is a brand new opportunity for all Great Plains United Methodists who work with youth – youth leaders, Sunday School teachers, pastors, Confirmation mentors, etc. – to be treated like an MVP and learn from a great coach and add to their playbook.

 

For our inaugural training we had 65 people from 25 congregations come to one of two locations. Friday, April 17 – Saturday, April 18, we were at Trinity UMC in Salina, Kansas. Saturday, April 18 – Sunday, April 19, we were at First UMC in Kearney, Nebraska. Both events started at 6:30 p.m. on the first day and ended at 3 p.m. on the second day.

 

Each team received a bundle of “major league” resources for use in your ministry.

In this game, Miguel Cabrera was still sitting out after catching a hard grounder under his right eye. As a hitter, he would eventually win the first triple crown in 45 years. The last player to do it was Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox in 1967. Both teams were looking to make a serious run for the post season in 2012. With as much talent as there is on each team, chemistry will always be more important. The Miami Marlins made a significant number of player acquisitions in the off season while the Detroit Tigers took aim at clinching the new AL Central division. As they say, the season is a marathon, not a race. In April, Miami Marlins finished 7-10 and the Detroit Tigers are 10-8.
