1 – 2 Cups Flour
½ Cup Salt
½ Cup Water
Food Coloring
Gloves
Paper Plate
Mixing Bowl
Paper Towel
After the honor time is over, you will need access to an oven or some other way of getting your art completely dry before you paint and/or seal it.
HOW WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS WORK FOR ALL OF US:
1 – Attached is the worksheet for the honor. It is a fillable PDF so if you want, you can open it and type in your answers in the fields provided. This is so that you can show both your completed worksheet and your finished projects to your director or counselor. Once you do this they will be able to get the honor patch to you.
2 – PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS AN ADULT nearby while you are in this session. This is for your safety and so that they can help you with parts of this honor process which might be more difficult and/or riskier (a hot oven).
Enjoy

We are grateful for the presentations that were made by each of the club directors. Each demonstrated why Potomac Pathfinders is an effective and essential ministry at every level in Potomac Conference. Our meeting was very productive, and we learned that we are all stronger when we press together, share information, and prayerfully seek God’s direction at every step in this ministry. We learned that we have all found the Covid-19 environment very challenging to adjust to. We also learned:
As they become available, I will post the materials each presenter has shared as a resource to use in your ministry.
Agradecemos las presentaciones realizadas por cada uno de los directores del club. Cada uno demostró por qué Potomac Conquestadores es un ministerio eficaz y esencial en todos los niveles de la Conferencia Potomac. Nuestra reunión fue muy productiva, y aprendimos que todos somos más fuertes cuando nos unimos, compartimos información y buscamos en oración la dirección de Dios en cada paso de este ministerio. Aprendimos que a todos nos ha parecido muy difícil adaptarse al entorno Covid-19. También aprendimos:
A medida que estén disponibles, publicaré los materiales que cada presentador ha compartido como recurso para usar en su ministerio.

This is an opportunity for all interested Pathfinders and staff members to earn the Cultural Heritage Honor by watching the presentation, filling out the attached sheet below and submitting it to your club directors to receive your patch.
Dear Conference Youth Directors and Pathfinder Leaders,
Your Columbia Union Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) planning team has been closely monitoring the rapidly developing Coronavirus threat. We are attempting to strike a balance between responding diligently and not overreacting to the situation. We are considering alternative models to our traditional PBE event. However, it has become increasingly clear to us the necessity of postponing our PBE event. Thus, there will be no Union level PBE event held on March 21.
We will continue to closely watch how the virus continues to spread and evaluate its impact on our churches and communities. In early April, we will reassess the feasibility of rescheduling this event.
I thank you for your patience and understanding as we attempt to responsibly respond to this crisis. Please understand that our priority has been and always will be the safety and wellbeing of our Pathfinders.
I would like to express my personal appreciation to Sherilyn O’Ffill, our union PBE coordinator, and our planning team for their quick action and due diligence to this very fluid situation.
Blessings,
Frank Bondurant
Vice President, Ministries Development
