Freshman Jacob Larsen achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in Troop 507 this past January. Jacob's Eagle project involved the beautification of the grounds at Epworth United Methodist Church, which hosts their Scout meetings. Flowerbeds were cleaned up, weeded, edged and mulched. Several new bushes and trees were planted and he coordinated adding a walkway and park bench outside the front entryway. He had a trellis built, and organized the clean-up effort, collected monies and purchased supplies as well.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTION
| |
The obligations that we have toward the Eternal Father for creation, we have likewise toward Jesus Christ, Who, by the redemption, has acquired every right of sovereignty over all redeemed creatures. Let us, therefore, exclaim and say to Jesus, "Yes, my God and my King, reign over my soul, my heart and my will; possess all my faculties and submit them entirely to the sceptre of obedience." (Meditations for Solitude, p. 50)
