This communication through prayer is a priority in our lives. We also need to communicate through each other. We need to communicate to each other through prayer, the phone, the internet, and when we get together. Without communicating we are not able to stay in touch with what is going on. We all have busy lives; however, we are able to juggle our schedules to make things happen. We have post-a-notes, schedulers, phone reminders, etc., to help us through our daily grind. This is essential for us to make sure all of our responsibilities are taken care of.

As Cadet Counselors, we also need to pool our experiences, communicate with one another, and be able to rely on one another for our needs. As Counselors we have a responsibility to support, participate, pray, and be committed to our calling.

As a Council we offer activities to participate in: Kickoff campout, Cadet family roller skating night, snow derby, and Super Saturday. We need to see more club participation and attendance. We are also looking to have more sponsorship ads for Super Saturday to help with costs, more sleds for snow derby, and more men to willing to have their names to be considered for the Cadet Council board.

Gentlemen, we all have our likes and dislikes, and we are able to address them when we know about them. Most of our registrations, activities, and outings are offered about the same time each year. We get late registrations, no registrations, did not know this was due, I didn’t know about this; I’m not in charge any more, etc. This is why communication is so important. We need to be more aware of what is going on, be prepared for what is happening, and how make sure our commitments are handled properly. Not with malice or despair, but with willingness and Godliness.

Cadeting is one of the greatest gifts we have to share with young boys. Let’s continue to use these gifts and calling to improve our programs, improve our communication, and use our talents to the best of our abilities.

In God’s Service,

Wayne Lewis
