Church Sports - Silverwood Mennonite Church

Church Sports

Softball

Silverwood has fielded softball teams (fast-pitch, coed slow-pitch, and men's slow-pitch) since the mid-80's. Currently, the slow-pitch team plays at Shanklin Park in Goshen during the summer and participates in the Mennonite Open tournament in Fort Wayne over Labor Day weekend. For the past couple of years, CS Electric has sponsored the team. The Woodies had an outstanding season in 2006, going 17-3 and winning the D division, league, and tournament crowns. Instead of adding more trophies to their already impressive display, the team members received a t-shirt for each championship. Everyone is welcome to play.

Basketball

Silverwood has many former high school and college basketball players in attendance. Although we have formed up to four teams in the past, we currently have an "A" team and a "B" team playing Saturday mornings at the Elkhart Sports Center just off of CR 17. The "A" team's run of a number of undefeated seasons came to an end last year, but the "B" team picked up the mantle by finishing first in their league. The church has participated in the Mennonite league since the early 1980's, formerly playing games at Bethany Christian HS. Inviting new attenders to play has been a great way to incorporate them into the life of the church body, and playing together has been helpful in getting to know each other better.
