Gentlemen’s Club models positive behavior for youth
03-10-2009
Pastor Jim Cross and members of the Ashdown/Richmond Charge are supporters and chaperones for the Gentlemen’s Club at Margaret Daniel Primary School in Ashdown, which meets weekly.
Once a month club members meet with Coach Flanigan and members of the Ashdown Panther basketball team. The gentlemen were recently recognized at a home game and invited to a pre-game meeting, locker room talk and the game. Members of the club sat behind the team during the game.
Throughout the year, the churches have found numerous ways to partner with the school district. They fed the faculty members of the six campuses, sponsored a Youth Night with a former Razorback as the speaker, provided numerous meals for the football teams and helped organize the Ministerial Alliance for a fall youth rally at the stadium. Cross, along with nine other volunteers from the church, continue to participate in the “Good Morning Program” where they greet students in the mornings and spend time reading and eating breakfast with students at Margaret Daniel Primary.
By their actions, Ashdown youth of all ages are witnessing discipleship through the outpouring of love and concern shown by the Ashdown/Richmond Charge under Cross’ leadership.
