We, the church family must present ourselves, as best we can, as an example to the world. Please use this sporting event as a brotherly get-together, and as an outreach. As competitive as we might be, please be aware of our surroundings. ICL will not tolerate foul play, foul mouth, or lewd conversations while playing or on the side lines. The goal is to help make this event as well as all other events presented by ICL as an affordable way to have fun and fellowship with others.
