Knots Part 2

These are the 10 knots that you need to learn (in addition to the first 10), to complete the 20 knots. Next year you will get your knot honor by tying each of the 20 knots, putting them on knot board and a few other things… so try not to forget them. There are a couple that I still need to find the video for, so work on the other 8 and bare with me please.

These are also the knots that you will need to know how to tie for the Pathfinder Fair in a few weeks, so please keep practicing them because you will need to know how to tie them. You will notice that I have include a its uses and a video. Sometime today or tomorrow, I will include a picture of what it looks like when it is tied.

Investiture

Investiture is this Saturday May 25th at 5pm at City Temple Sda Church in Detroit. You will need to be in your Type A uniform. Unfortunately I will be out of town and won’t get to see the investiture. In case I haven’t told you, it has been a pleasure working with you this year (even though we’re technically not done and still have a couple of things left to do). Investiture means that you have (or will) successfully complete the Pathfinder year and will begin the next left of Pathfinders next year (Explorer). Don’t worry, we’ll do a better job next year of making sure we don’t have anything to finish when we get closer to the end of the year. I hope you have learned something about yourself, each other and something about God… I know I have!

Update

Hi Companions,

We’ve definitely made some progress. Here’s your updated homework

• Finish devotional readings & Genesis and write something down in your book (there must be something on every page of your book)
• Memorize books of old testament and their groupings (Only Damarius left to complete)
• Spend two hours helping elderly person (On your own)
• 10 knots (See next post for info)
• Basic water safety (We’ll do this in the summer)

Memorization

This is what you need to memorize… from the first section (Spiritual Discovery) you need to memorize each verse. From the second section (Health & Fitness), you only need to pick two

SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY 2.

A.   Prayer

⁷ Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God John 4:7

B.   Doctrine-already completed

⁵ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5

C.   Behavior

¹⁵ Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. 1 Thessalonians 5:15

D.   Salvation

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10

E.    Relationships

¹⁸ “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18

OR

¹⁷ If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 1 John 3:17

F.    Promise/Praise

³ Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Psalm 37:3

G.  Great Passages

¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11

 

---

HEALTH & FITNESS 1b. (Pick two)

•  ¹² Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2

•  ³¹ So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

• ²⁰ Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise. Proverbs 20:1

• ² Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3 John 1:2

Where are we?

Hi Companions,

We haven’t had very much time together recently, as the Pathfinder year comes to a close it is time to make sure that you will be invested. This means that we have a short amount of time to finish all of the things that need to be finished. If you are going to move up to the Explorer class for next Pathfinder year, we must get through this. Yes it’s a lot to do, but nothing we can’t get finished. Please make sure to do the ones that say to do on your own (reading, memorizing and spending 2hrs helping an elderly person). The rest we can and will do together. Here is a list of what needs to be finished so that you know where we stand.

• finish devotional readings-on your own
• memorize books of old testament
• Memorize text for: doctrine, behavior, salvation, relationships, promises/praise, great passages-on your own
• Spend two hours helping elderly person-on your own
• memorize two passages (Romans 12:1-2, 1 Corinthians 10:31, proverbs 20:1, 3 John 2)-on your own
• Nature section (we will do this when we are camping)
• 20 knots (we’re halfway there)

What should you be working on?

Hey,

Just in case you forgot what you’re supposed to be working on this week, here is your reminder (just in case you wait until the last minute to do it). Demarius, don’t forget to be ready to do your presentation this week.

---

1. Finish weekly readings and put something in your book to show that you have completed them by answering the questions

2. Memorize 1 John 4:7  Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

3. Be able to recite the first 17 books of the bible and the two groups that they belong to (we started this last week)

5 Books of Moses (Goofy Elephants Love Nuts Dude)

Catching up

Hey Companions,

It sure has been a little while since we sat down together… but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be keeping a eye on your book. Here is what you need to do:

A. Finish the weekly readings and put something in your book showing that you’ve done them (text, picture… etc)

B. Read (or listen) to Genesis 1-17. If you would prefer to listen to it instead of read, see the previous

C. Do you presentation on 2 Adventist pioneers. Imani and Kayla have already had the chance to present, so Tajah and Demarius please be ready the next time we meet

D. Start looking at the books of the Old Testament, we will be memorizing them.

Happy reading
