GQ Club and First Presbyterian clean-up Cook Elementary
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Volunteerism is one of the tenants
of Christian service. It is also one of
the fundamental principles of
Gentleman's Quorum Inc., a mentor
ship program at Elementary School
Academy. As community volunteers
from First Presbyterian Church came
out to Cook Elementary last Saturday
during the church's First Serve effort.
Gentleman's Quorum pitched in to
help beautify the campus, helping
clean inside and outside of the school
and with school's landscaping.
First Presbyterian sponsors the
clean-up effort twice each year, once
in the fall and again in the spring.
First Presbyterian has already
planned its next First Serve for the
fall. It will occur in October. In addi
tion to providing help with clean-up
around the school. First Presbyterian
also provides monthly meals for
teachers and staff.. at Cook
Elementary, helps with its "back
pack" lunch program and provides 24
volunteers for Cook's "lunch bud
dies" program.
Gentleman's Quorum was found
ed last year by Sam Davis, a member
of the school's staff, at Elementary
School Academy. Elementary School
Academy is housed at Cook
Elementary. One of the criteria for
membership in Gentleman's Quorum
is that members must perform at least
10 hours of community service each
year.
"We expect all of the gentlemen
in GQ to perform community serv
ice," said Elliot Miley, one of GQ's
advisors. "They get hands-on experi
ence performing a variety of needed
duties. It also gives them an opportu
nity to meet various members of the
community and have an opportunity
to interact with them. It is a privilege
for our kids to get this type of experi
ence and provide service to the com
munity in the process."
Jahaun King, a member of GQ
said he had fun and got some valuable
experience helping out.
"I really enjoyed having the
opportunity to come out and help my
school," he said. "I learned a lot today
and I look forward to doing it again."
? Stefano Buffert, another member
of GQ, said he liked the way students
and volunteers worked together to
help beautify the campus.
"This is my school and 1 take
pride in helping make it look better,"

he said. "It was fun."
T'Andre Williams said volunteer
ing helps him understand how to
exercise citizenship, which is one of
GQ's fundamental principles.
"We talk about citizenship and
some of us didn't really understand
how that works," he said. "But this
gave me a chance to use it by helping
out my community by volunteering."
God's Love Is Guaranteed
Lesson Scripture: I John 4:13-5:5
By the end of this lesson, we should
Understand
? that love holds a community
together
? Give examples of love con
quering evil
? Live a life of love; not fear
Background: This circular let
ter was sent to various churches in
Asia Minor. John, the beloved dis
ciple, probably penned it in
Ephesus. The early churches faced
many doctrinal ideas that made the believers doubt. The
apostle wrote to expose false teachers and to assure them
of their Salvation. He boldly declared that the foundation
of their relationship with God was love through Christ
Jesus. Chapter four opened with John cautioning them to
"test the spirit" that they experienced. If the teacher/spirit
didn't acknowledge Jesus as fully
human and divine, then it was the
"antichrist." He went on to say that their
faith in Christ has overcome the false
teachers. Therefore, the one (Holy
Spirit) who dwells in them is greater
than false teachers. The world listens to
them but believers follow God. Do you
know His voice? Loving one another
(with all their faults and ours) is the evi
dence that believers are of God. The
relationship between believers anrf flr>H
is based on love; nothing else! God loved first; He gave
His only Son for humanity! You can't beat that! John pre
