Rodeo Bible Day Camp To Help Develop Youth Rodeo And Horsemanship Skills While Building Stronger Faith By Frank J. Buchman “Youth have the opportunity to learn about the sport of rodeo while developing a rela- tionship with Jesus.” It’s the Rodeo Bible Day Camp sponsored by the Crossroads Cowboy Church, June 23-26, at Triple C Arena in Williamstown. Location is at the crossroads of Highway 24 and High- way 59. “My husband Rod has served as pastor here for about a year,” said Andrea Madding. “The adjacent arena serves as an outreach to the community, while this camp extends our faith building efforts to youth.” Crossroads Cowboy Church started having tent services in 2009. “The church moved into the current building east of Perry in Jan- uary 2010,” Andrea said. “While catering to those of the Western lifestyle, everybody is welcomed and encouraged to attend our ser- vices.” Appropriately named the Triple C Arena after Crossroads Cowboy Church, the quality-con- structed contiguous facilities host many horse-related events. “It is a uniquely ideal layout to bring a broad spectrum of people closer to our Lord Jesus Christ,” Andrea

Western and rodeo cul- ture.” Participants will bring their own horses which must have current negative

Coggins test papers. “All levels of riders are wel- come,” Andrea insisted.

Threemeals are to be provided each day start- ing at 8 o’clock, and concluding at 7 o’clock. “However with the rodeo at 6 o’clock Satur- day evening, we will finish up with awards about 9 o’clock,” Andrea noted. Horses can remain at the arena throughout the camp, but there will be no overnight lodg- ing for most campers. “An exception is being made for those from a distance who can stay in their trailers,” Andrea added. “Highly qualified instructors are being con - tracted for each event,” Andrea assured. “However, such a camp cannot function with- out many volunteers. Those desiring to help should feel free to contact us. “All volunteers will undergo a background check to ensure the safety for all of our camp- ers,” she added. In addition to event instruction, special games and activities are planned to increase enjoyment of campers. “Daily chapel ser- vices and small group devotions are planned as an integral part of the experience,” Andrea emphasized.

The camp will be limited to 10 participants in each event, making a total of 50 campers. “While we already have a number of regis- trations, there are still ample openings to attend,” Andrea verified. “Still, event avail - ability is reserved on a first come, first serve basis.” Cost is $150 per camper, with an advance de- posit required. However, Andrea said, “We do offer a sibling discount, and there are a few scholarships still available for those with qualifying need.” Contributions are also being sought. “We welcome both monetary and item donations,” Andrea said. “Dillons’ shoppers can donate every time they swipe their rewards card. “All you have to do is sign up for the commu- nity rewards program at www.Dillons.com, and select Crossroads Rodeo Bible Camp or number 59905. This does not interfere with fuel points,” Andrea clarified. Horsemanship participants will work on ver- satility, attitude and movement of rider and horse at a walk, trot and canter. Barrel racing is a speed and agility event where riders run a cloverleaf pattern around barrels for the fastest time

away from the saddle horn. Special awards including recognition for top event contestants are to be presented at con- clusion of the Saturday night rodeo. Pastor Rod Madding commented: “Our mis- sion at ‘Triple C’ is three fold. To demonstrate the restoration of life that comes with God’s grace. Mentor and encourage others by living out our faith in every aspect of our lives. And to provide opportunities for building rela- tionships within the Western heritage culture providing different activities to draw people to Jesus. “We believe the Bible is the word of God and authority in all matters of faith and life,” Mad- ding said. Sunday services begin with breakfast fellow- ship, followed by worship service and chil- dren’s church.

Cowboy Friends For Lifetime

“Grade school kids with matching cowboy dreams grow old fulfilling youthful inclinations.” Living in a rural community, students in the olden days walked to and from school includ- ing going home for dinner. Dennis is a couple years younger, yet friendship quickly bonded during the daily joint jaunts nearly a mile each direction. Neither had horses, but cowboy boots and snap-yoked shirts revealed certain commonness. Without perfect attendance shared Sunday school class further enhanced comradery of Western life. Wednesday was afternoon off for grocery store carryout boy frequently joining another cow - boy dreamer fishing the nearby river. Then aspirations began to materialize. Two acres with a barn in the city limits allowed for the older horse fascinator to get his own Spot. Dennis went to work as exercise rider for the trainer at a racetrack the community had just built. Saddle club’s arena infield the oval track became evening get together for the young horsemen. Cowboy bond strengthened during high school in youth agriculture organizations with both envisioning rodeo successes. Saturday nights on the town began when stopping to get Den- nis at home playing his electric guitar singing cowboy songs. Team roping practices Thursday evenings started developing some rodeo skills soon lead- ing to steer riding in yokel events. Jake contracted the annual summer rodeo and of course a couple teenagers were insistent to climb down into the chutes. Dennis collected checks on broncs and bulls while his friend scowled getting up after High Pockets and others dumped him. Amateur circuit found the compadres paying entry fees fairly regularly with the partner’s payback furnishing gas money. Still there was romancing as Dennis was groomsman for his friend and granted the sidekick best man honors. Going different directions, Dennis became a renowned racehorse trainer, while subordinate pursued ranching with subsistence job. When head-on car crash hospitalized unconscious the city-worker-rancher, Dennis was bedside regular during convalescing. It was then a black stallion registered as namesake Dennis Good was acquired starting the Quarter Horse breeding program. Recent front page newspaper racehorse picture story of the cowboy friend’s family brought reflections from the past seven decades. Staggering was sad passing of Dennis’ wife Nancy last year yet tradition continues. Daugh- ters, son, children-in-law, grandchildren thrive the “Good” cowboy way. Reminded of First Samuel 2:8: “He protectively cares for faithful friends, step by step.”
