LOGOS Participants at Westview Learn about Flag Respect
Mark Gray and Anthony Gray demonstrate the ceremonial burning of a tattered American flag.
Few people are aware that flags that have become tattered or otherwise unsuitable for display should be burned in a ceremonious fashion. This and other interesting information about the handling of the American and Christian flags was shared as part of the LOGOS ministry of Westview Christian Church in Indianapolis.
Representatives of Boy Scout Troop 505, which meets at Westview, attended the regular Wednesday night meeting of Westview’s LOGOS Program on October 23 to instruct the children and youth in the proper respect and handling of both the American and Christian Flags. The demonstrations by Anthony Gray, Mark Gray, and Ron Turner were held in the outdoor Vespers area at the church.
A wiener roast was enjoyed by all as a part of the evening.

The scouts participated as color guard, worship leaders for scripture and prayer, and deacons. The leaders participated by serving at the communion table as Elders.

During that time, 432 young men have passed through the scout program at Westview. 77 of those have attained the rank of Eagle, the highest rank attainable in scouting.
