Region 4 has been offering a series of opportunities for Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors, including Program Aide training and Red Cross babysitting. Older girls from Copper Creek Meadows join with girls from neighboring communities to plan and participate in these activities. The 2017 catalog for day, twilight and resident camp will be coming out soon. Camp is a great opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends. Where else can you learn all those camp songs and wear crazy socks and hats? Cadette troop 16468 hosted a movie night and panel discussion to increase awareness of the importance of girls’ access to education. Those who attended watched the movie “He Named Me Mahala.” The movie is about Mahala Yousafzai, the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. At the age of15, she was wounded by Taliban gunmen. She is an educational activist in Pakistan and campaigner for the worldwide rights of children. Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21).

It is traditionally a time for worshippers to gather together with penitent hearts to have their foreheads marked with a cross of ashes in an act of penance and contrition before the Lord. On Wednesday evening, March 1 st at 7 PM, we will be having an Ash Wednesday worship celebration. This service will include the marking of ashes on each worshippers head followed by a quiet time of reflection at the altar. In addition, as we do each Ash Wednesday service, there will be something “extra” to illustrate God’s forgiveness of our sins. Special music will be provided by the Chancel Choir. This will be a meaningful service and everyone is invited to attend. Cornerstone United Methodist Church is located at 18081 West Road (across from the CFISD Berry Center and next to the CVS).

All ages are invited to participate. We will explore the many spiritual themes that weave throughout the Star Wars films. From the Force to the dark side, the issues presented in the films have a moral and spiritual complexity that, if paid attention to, can help us better understand our place in the world and our relation to others and to God. Through Forty Days in the Force we hope to see the challenges and victories in our everyday Christian life. There will always be a teacher and a student and there will always be evil, but thanks to God and his Son, there will always be good and we will always have a purpose. Nursery will be provided for infants and toddlers. Star Wars activities will be provided for preschoolers. Those ages 6 through 106 will explore the force together.
