Ah brother Mark,
Let's look at this from a different angle. I am
with you on encouraging the boys to attend Pow-Wow. Seen many wonderful things
happen to young men at Pow-Wow over the years.
Now think of the potential for outreach from a
Church Outing. If it was me I would invite the parents of all the boys who do
not attend our church on Sunday (over half of my outpost). Just think of the
evangelism if you can get the parents of these boys to this outing. Man, it
makes my heart go pitter-patter.
Granted, there are many weekends available to carry
out a Church outing of this sort. What we do not know from the earlier post is
the why this weekend was chosen by the Pastor and Staff. In my eyes it does not
matter because this is what the Pastor has chosen and unless I want to be in
rebellion,I follow his lead. It may not be my personal choice, but I will submit
for if I do not then I become a hypocrite to the boys and Ranger
pledge.
Of course this is only my humble
opinion.
Blessings,
Bob Triphahn

Another prospect. Explain that Pow Wow is the pinnacle of
the RR year.
It has been on the District Schedule for 3 years. The
boys and outpost
have been working towards this event. With "All"
aspects of the training
coming in to it. It is a chance to show
yourself approved. As a healthy
outpost you should also be there to assist
and witness to the others by
serving there as well. Besides all
the other blessings it is a great
time to learn and reflect. There
are a lot of weeks in the year. Could
we do this Church Campout on
another weekend?
I will say I am committed to the Royal
Ranger Ministry. I believe in it
and have commitments and a calling
from the Lord to be there. To by pass
a 4 Day district pow wow would
not be my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice.
