There is a youth group in my church organization called the Pathfinder Club. It is similar to the Boys and Girls Scout, except it is co-ed and adds a spiritual context to its program. In the higher ranking of the Pathfinder Club are the Master Guides. These individuals serve as staff members (directors, instructors and the like) to the younger Pathfinders. For the past 3 years I have been privileged to teach and instruct one of those Master Guide courses, and today is their Investiture or Graduation Service.
These individuals have worked hard throughout the year. Attending seminars, going camping in tents and completing a Wilderness Camping experience with only a sleeping bag and tarp (no showers, bathrooms or electricity for 48 hours). They have completed their coursework and have passed their final exam. I am happy for them and those who completed the class under other instructors. I hope they honor this role they are taking on, and truly work with the young people of the church and in the community, to become better people for themselves and others.
As these graduates rejoice today, let us congratulate them. May you also rejoice in the fact that you have accomplished many goals in your own lives. Those which you have yet to complete, remain faithful knowing that God will grant you the desires of your heart.
Bon Sabbat. Shabbat Shalom. Happy Sabbath. Feliz Sabado.
