God and Softball
A nice write-up of the Burbank Media City Church's softball league from valleynews.com user Richard Colon...
For Rick Fry, senior pastor of Media City Church in Burbank, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ doesn't end at the pulpit. With three services every Sunday morning and one on Wednesday night, Fry has encouraged church members to take their faith to the local parks by playing on church-sponsored softball teams.An avid golfer, Fry believes in building the total person - body, soul and spirit.
MCC put two teams together for the city of Burbank's slow-pitch church league. The makeup of the two teams is as different as day and night - or as written in the Old Testament, "alpha and omega."
The Alpha team is made up of young players who are highly competitive and the 2006 champions of the church league. Omega, with many players considered Senior Saints, plays for the love of the game and an opportunity to get some exercise.
