Nice way for the girls to rebound after last week. Mariko scored the first goal, Erin had the second and Cat closed out with final two. Chloe had one good shot on goal that just missed to the right.

2. Why is there such a strong move in our culture to silence faith's expressions?
3. Take a look at these verses and explain how they relate to this week's message: Colossians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 10:31.
4. Read 2 Timothy 1:8-18. What are the reasons Paul gives to Timothy to not be ashamed of standing strong in his faith?
5. According to Matthew 5:16, how can your faith be seen by others? What can you do this week to glorify our Father in heaven?

The girls were short handed this week. They only had 10 players to start with no subs. Yuki (9 yr. old) came into the game late to at least level the sides. All the girls fought valiantly and Bethan was great in the goal in the second half. They tired a little in the end. But a good effort nonetheless.
