NJ EAST CENTRAL SOUTH SECTION
Royal Rangers Roundtable
February 11, 2019

Opening Prayer – Jesse Martin

Devotion – Steve Martin

History of Rangers – 1962 Johnnie Barnes was a youth director before starting Rangers. Original purpose: disciple young men and keep them in our churches. JB was National Cmdr for 27 years. Reached 2 million boys. Example: Paul & Timothy – 1 Tim 1:2 Timothy was Paul’s true son in the faith…likeminded. v 3-5 Stay away from vain babblings; stay focused on loving from a pure heart and; v 18-19 Wage the good warfare; 4:7 Stay focused…reject old wives’ tales; 12-13 Let no one despise your youth; be an example. Paul, the mentor was constantly calling Timothy higher, encouraging him to stay focused and true to the Word of God. 6:11-14 Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness… v20-21 Guard what was committed to your trust….turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.
The RR emblem can be used as we mentor and encourage the boys in our outposts.

Sectional Leaders Report – John Fudalik

Those who owe for the derby cars  need to pay ASAP; funds came out of our account to initially purchase them.

Winter Day – we’ve been asked to do the opening instead of the closing.

Deputy Commanders Report – Aaron Biernacki

  • Sectional PowWow will be at Nomoco (Turkey Swamp) – May 31-June 2

  • Check for price of boat rentals, etc…let parents know to send more $$.
  • RK going fishing in the morning, so rest of RR not allowed to the lake until after they’re done.
  • Steve M. idea: give out ribbons to all the boys who are part of the winning team so that they all get something (currently multiple boys “share” one trophy).
