Taking Time To Honor

Last night we took time to honor a group of young people for their achievements in Mpact Girls Clubs (formerly Missionettes) and Royal Rangers. I couldn't have been more proud of everyone involved!

The service began by recognizing six new Honor Stars: Hanna Jo Kimble, Angela Nigro, Ainsley Rice, Catherine Rose, Katherine Van Drie, and Caitlyn Wicks. Requirements were: complete 27 badges, complete 9 Honor Steps in the "The World of Truth," earn the 4-step badges of a STAR, read the New Testament, and pass a comprehensive exam.

Royal Rangers recognized three Silver Medal of Achievements: Drew Coletti, Michael Jones, and Matt Pace; and one Gold Medal of Achievement: Christian Prince. Christian completed 30 total merits, service activity within the local church, service in a leadership position within the outpost, Silver Medal of Achievement, and a 500 word essay among many other activities. There are more requirements for earning a GMA than an Eagle Scout Award!

The ceremony included Jerry Millhouser, District Commander; Don Bixler, NW Divisional Commander and Fred Lipowicz, FCF President. The Mayor of Independence, Don Reimal, was also in attendance.

Hats off to those who serve these ministries. All of you did a great job. Last night's service was a testimony of your involvement and influence. Thank You!
