			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Kids Interchurch Baseball League is in its 15th year of operation for the children and families of Abbotsford .  Originally founded at Sevenoaks Alliance Church, the league has grown to over 200 boys and girls in t-ball<br />
and junior teams.  Last year, they represented 36 churches in the commmunity and involved 74 children with no church affiliation.  The league is designed to teach children baseball in a less competitive, more encouraging, environment where every team and game is covered in prayer before they begin to play.  Offering a less demanding schedule but an opportunity to experience a team sport, the league runs only 8 weeks in May and June, on Thursday nights, and practise and play occur on the same evening.  The league is entirely run with volunteers. The final week of the season celebrates with a family barbecue at which all the participants receive team pictures, and award ribbons.  </p>
<p>The league is made affordable for all children - subsidizing those who are in need. Registration takes place in March and the league is advertised through churches, schools, and local newspapers.  </p>

Box 2156 Abbotsford BC V2T 3X8<br />
604.850.5527</p>
<p>Founded as a Ministry of Helps to local churches, Covenant Keepers offers support to people who are hurting in their marital relationships. However, unlike most marriage ministries, we specialize in working with only one-half<br />
of the couple. Experience has proven marriages can be healed if only one person in the marriage will apply the appropriate principles to the situation.</p>
<p>Our mission is two-fold&#8230; First of all, we desire to facilitate spiritual and emotional health and growth in the personal lives of those individuals desiring the restoration of their marriages. Second, we teach how broken marriage relationships can be healed through applying Godly principles.</p>
