Adventurer, Pathfinder, & Master Guide Recognition Day & Mission Project, this Sunday, February 15
|
Adventurer, Pathfinder, & Master Guide Recognition Day & Mission Project (this Sunday, February 15, 2009 @ Dyckman Seventh-day Adventist Church, Manhattan): It will begin at 10 AM sharp. Around 1,500 Adventurer, Pathfinders, and Master Guides are expected to attend and participate in the program & Mission Project.
This is an exclusive event for Pathfinders, Adventurers, and Master Guides. Recognitions will be extended in the following areas: Adventurer, Pathfinder, Master Guide, Director, and Coordinator of the Year. The same thing will be done for the Adventurer and Pathfinder Clubs of the Year. There will also be a very special Lifetime Recognition Award for an Individual, in our Conference, who has served Adventist Youth Ministries for many years.
During this ceremony we will have the dedication service for Pathfinder Coordinators, who will be joining the prestigious Greater New York Conference Ranks.
MISSION PROJECTS
We are asking each club to bring a fruit basket to distribute to a needy family in the neighborhood.
For the second time, our Pathfinder, Adventurers, and Master Guides will hold a Blood Drive in connection with the Red Cross, and sponsored by the Adventist Youth Ministries, and the Adventist Community Services Departments. Each club is encouraged to find blood donors (Pastors, Parents, Uncles, Aunts, Church Members, and Church Elders). I will be the first in line to donate blood and I am sure that many of our Coordinators, Leaders, and Master Guides will also be present to give a bit of the many blessings we receive from God. The top three churches (Adventurer & Pathfinder Club combined), which are able to recruit the most people to donate blood, will receive one of the following prizes from our Department:
1. One Individual Free Registration for the Oshkosh International Camporee
2. Three Individual Free Registrations for the GNYC Pathfinder or Adventurer Camporee
3. Three Greater New York Conference Official Umbrellas
Each Club that contributes with at least two donors will receive 1,000 Bonus Points which will go towards the Club of the Year for 2008.
The Adventist Community Services Van will be there providing free health screenings and free blood pressure checks for those who donate blood. The Red Cross will also have some Gift Certificates from different stores and entities, as well as refreshments and snacks for donors. I asked the organizers what would be a success: they told me that 50 people donating blood on that day will be a success; I think we can double that. Let’s join together and let’s find 100 people who are willing to donate blood on that day.
We would also like to ask each kid and adult attending, who is able, to bring $2.00, since we will collect an offering for the upcoming Jamaica Mission Trip.
The schedule for the day will be the following: Ceremony from 10 AM -12 PM, Mission Projects from 12:30 PM -2 PM. Let parents know ahead of time, so they can make a lunch bag preparation for each kid.
The Dyckman Seventh-day Adventist Church is located on:
111-113 Vermilyea Ave
New York NY 10034
