Our Constitution is Signed

The signing of our Constitution went superbly.

The meeting began at about 12:35 on Saturday, September 8, 2007. The President, Mr. R. Josiah Magnuson, and Vice-President, Mr. David Michael Aguilar, arrived to shouts, cheers, and a majestic violin/electric organ version of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."

After a prayer of thanks and a short welcome, the group began by singing "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." Mr. Magnuson then gave out a series of useful door prizes.

Mr. Aguilar read Proverbs 3:1-10, regarding proper trust in God and His commands.

After the Scripture reading, Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Aguilar unveiled the new YCLA Shield of Arms on a two-foot by four-foot white wood background, which had been covered in a blue plastic cloth. The Shield itself, representing Faith, consists of a white cross on a blue field with a white five-pointed star in the top-left corner. Two olive branches with four olives each are displayed on the two sides, and a yellow crown of Christ is at the top with a large diamond in the center. The initials for the group are found at the bottom.

After another song, Miss Rahab Hackett read Isaiah 58:6-14. This scripture passage speaks of God's appreciation for works of good in society, keeping His Law, delighting in Him, and so forth. These are all-important to being a "repairer of the breach, a restorer of paths to dwell in."

The Constitution was signed by each member, with the President signing following the challenging theme song, "He Who Would Valiant Be."

In the President's address he stressed three objectives as key to the YCLA's mission: 1. Demolishing Deceit, 2. Attacking Apathy, and 3. Dispelling Disunity. The point was made in each case that the best way to lead is by example. The YCLA will, more than anything, act as a beacon of truth, liberty, and order for others. The reason this day is important is because it marks the beginning of a new standard of Biblical worldview implementation.

After picture-taking and cleanup, the group went downstairs for pizza and refreshments. For pictures of the event, please click here.
