Nineteen teams competed in the MCH Golf Classic. The
four-man scramble tournament began with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. at Twin
Rivers Golf Club in Waco. The team of Chris Goss, Todd Glaseman, Jaime McCoy
and Josh Ludy won the tournament and received trophies and golf bags as their
first place prize. Other prizes included gift cards for area restaurants, golf
clubs and gear, and special items handmade by MCH students in the agricultural
sciences program. Players learned more about MCH through signs displaying facts
about the ministry placed at several tee boxes on the course.
A special thanks to our silver sponsor Insurors of Texas;
bronze sponsors Northwest Optimist Club, John W. Erwin General Contractors,
Patillo, Brown & Hill, and Naman Howell Smith & Lee; and Integ who sponsored the banners and hole
signs for the tournament. Food and beverages were provided by Rudy’s BBQ,
Coca-Cola and Chick-fil-a.
The Heart of the
Matter
Friday evening kicked off the two-day annual Commissioners event. The theme this year was getting back to “The Heart of the Matter.”
Friday evening kicked off the two-day annual Commissioners event. The theme this year was getting back to “The Heart of the Matter.”
Forty-nine commissioners gathered at the pavilion in
Heritage Park on the Waco campus for a presentation and dinner to learn about
how they can help support the ministry. Commissioners heard from MCH alum Jimmy
Hammond who announced the donation of the lights at the football field. After
the dinner, commissioners joined other MCH Bulldog fans in the stands to enjoy
the Homecoming football game versus Wylie Prep.
“Friday night proved to be a great way for our commissioners
to experience our ministry in action,” said Lyle Mason, director of benefactor
relations.
Saturday morning, commissioners returned to campus for a
morning of educational sessions from MCH leadership. The speakers presented
updates on how lives are changing through MCH Family Outreach and residential
services programs. The new logo was also
introduced and, as Mason explained, “reminded us that ultimate transformation
comes with the cross at the center.” To conclude the event, commissioners and
staff attended a luncheon at Johnson Student Center where MCH President Tim
Brown gave an informative speech about an emerging method in childcare used at
Methodist Children’s Home through our partnership with Texas Christian
University’s Institute of Child Development called Trust-Based Relational
Intervention (TBRI). TBRI is an intervention model of care for a wide range of
childhood behavioral problems designed for children who have experienced
relationship-based trauma.
“We wanted to make sure our commissioners walked away
knowing how much we appreciate their friendship and advocacy,” Mason said.
“And, we hope they left feeling connected, equipped and enthused to share the
MCH story with those in their community.”
