citizenship and character. To implant the game elements of
safety, sanity, and intelligent supervision; and to keep the
welfare of the player first, foremost, and entirely free of
adult lust for glory. To emphasize teamwork for all
participants.
Everyone is a winner at NJB!!

Dear Heavenly Father, we pray that NJB will help develop
clean competition, good sportsmanship and lasting
friendships for all participants. We give praise to You for
all the gifts you have given us. AMEN. |
