Ceremony / Presentation of the Master Guide Ministry

Director:
I declare the ceremony of Initiation of the Master Guide Club of the Church of ______________ now in
progress (the director lights the candle and the sanctuary lights fade dimly).
The candle that now is lit represents the Master Guide spirit. This is a spirit of learning, of adventure, of
companionship, of friendship, of physical, mental and spiritual development. It is mainly a spirit of
reverence, a spirit of service to God and to man. This light alone it is not enough or complete, so we need
to call the lights that supplement this light.

(A Master Guide will lit a candle and say a colors that represent the emblems of the Master Guides
Ministry)

RED
This color reminds us of Christ's sacrifice. This is a permanent memory of the innocent blood
spilled by Jesus whom so much loved us. The very well-known scripture verse of Juan. 3:16: “For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting life”. Hebrews 9:26: “If he had offered himself every year, he
would have suffered many times since the creation of the world. But instead, near the end of time
He offered himself once and for all, so that he could be a sacrifice that does away with sin.”

WHITE
This color represents purity. Purity means being undiluted or unmixed with extraneous material, in
other words 100% clean Many have said that the eyes are the windows of the soul. When the

 peace of God invades the soul, that person is pure and inspires trust. The text in Revelations 3:5,
“Everyone who wins the victory will wear white clothes. Their names will not be erased from the
book of life, and I will tell my Father and his angels that they are my followers”. In 1Timothy 4:12
“Don't let anyone make fun of you, just because you are young. Set an example for other
followers by what you say and do, as well as by your love, faith, and purity.” Colossians 3:9 “Do
not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices.”

BLUE
This color represents loyalty. A Master Guide maintains a fixed look upon his leader, who is
Jesus, and is always on behalf of justice. The word betrayal doesn't exist in our vocabulary,
because we are loyal to our Master. The text in Jeremiah 42:5: “Then they said to Jeremiah, "May
the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with everything
the LORD your God sends you to tell us.” Psalms 89:37 “it will be established forever like the
moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Proverbs 25:13 “Like the coolness of snow at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters.”

GOLD
This color represents excellence. The excellence is the grade of perfection reached by a person,
or an institution. In our case, the Christian is urged to come closer to Christ's stature. "Be perfect,
therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect", in the personal life, a Master Guide tries to reach
excellence by observing the laws, constantly remembering to walk with perseverance. The text in
Revelations 3:18, “I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich.”
Philippians 3:8 “What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness
of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish
that I may gain Christ.”

The Director continues

The candle of the spirit of Master Guides is a symbol of good things, of high characters and ideals, it is a
symbol of spiritual development with goals that we have to put as members of the club, that way our
youth and adults will learn more about themselves and more on the part that they will take in the last
events of the history. The Law, Pledge, Motto and Aim will help us to be able to arrive to these ideals.

NOTE: Salute for the Law and Pledge by placing your right hand over your hearth.

LAW
The Master Guide Law is for me to:
Keep the Morning Watch,
Do my honest part,
Care for my body,
Keep a level eye,
Be courteous and obedient,
Walk softly in the sanctuary,
Keep a song in my heart,
Go on God's errands.

PLEDGE
“Loving the Lord Jesus, I promise to take an active part in the work of the Adventist Youth Society, doing
what I can to help others and to finish the work of the gospel in all the world.”

NOTE: Do not salute for the Aim and Motto.
