Greetings from the Executive Director

C ourage is one of the traits of Royal Rangers. It is part of our Ranger Code and this

year, part of our theme for Potomac District Pow Wow. Courage is not the absence

of fear but the willingness to press forward despite fear. God calls us to be coura-

geous men. We are calling all our Rangers to join us as we celebrate the colors of both the

American and Christian flags with our rallying theme, “These Colors Don’t Run!” We hope

each outpost will join us in a fun-filled event with some of the activities we enjoy and a few

twists with some new ones!

Commander Buzz Gregory will encourage and challenge our hearts as our Pow Wow speaker

and we are again going to feature some of our own Rangers in the Damascus Road worship team. Come enjoy the won-

derful Rock Enon area, experience the rock climb, the shooting sports and all the fun-filled activities. Commander Bob

Blessing and the entire Pow Wow team has worked tirelessly and we are very excited and hope to see you there!

Introducing the Pow Wow Guest Speaker

Pastor Robert "Buzz" Gregory served in the U.S. Navy for six years where he was in-volved in drug and alcohol abuse. A childhood friend invited him to attend church and he gave his life to the Lord. He was delivered from substance abuse and has faithfully served the Lord ever since. Pastor Buzz then enrolled in Christian World College of Theology where he earned a master's degree in theology. During the past 32 years Buzz has served as a prison chaplain for the Good News Jail and Prison Fellowship, a youth pastor, an assistant pastor, and associate pastor of Delmarva Evangelistic Church. For the past 20-plus years Pastor Buzz has been involved with the Royal Rangers ministry and is currently serving as an area com-mander, mentoring boys to become servant leaders of God. Pastor Buzz has been employed at Delmarva Power for the last 30 years and is currently working as a safety supervisor. He re-sides in Salisbury with his wife Donna and their two daughters Jacqueline and Katelyn. He feels the call to build a multi-cultural church where the entire body is working together in unity to reflect and build the kingdom of God. “From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work” Ephesians 4:16 (NIV).

Praise and Worship

Damascus Road Experience is a small group of musicians from the Huntingtown, MD area. Formed in early 2014, its members have been playing together at several Capital Area Powwows since then. DRE currently has five active mem-bers. Caleb leads vocally and plays electric guitar. Alex Cooper provides supporting vocals, musical arrangements, and plays the keyboard. Alex’s brother, Zac Cooper, plays bass guitar, and their father, Mike Cooper, plays the drums and provides supporting vocals. Isaac Brannon also provides supporting vocals. Caleb is the worship leader at Full Gospel Assembly of God. While in high school, he led worship with bassist Zac Cooper and several classmates for an in-school ministry during lunch, seeking to reach Huntingtown High School’s 1,600 students. He attends the College of Southern Maryland, pursuing business. Alex also leads worship on a regular basis, serving full-time as the head of his home church’s worship and choir ministries in Salisbury, MD. He is a student at Salisbury University, pursuing a degree in piano composition. Zac is currently a senior at Huntingtown High School and has experience in playing worship as well, serving as a member of the worship team at his home church. He plays soccer and lacrosse for his high school at the Varsity level, and belongs to a state-level travel soccer team. Mike has belonged to worship teams at several home churches. He also plays trumpet, and was featured in several national honor music groups while in high school. He now owns a materials handling business. Isaac is a member of his home church’s worship team, playing keyboard and providing vocals alongside his brother, Caleb. Isaac serves on the Potomac District Staff as staff photographer, and is a student at the University of Maryland in College Park, pursuing a mechanical engineering degree.
