Readers will note the delay between posts. We've been enjoying a week of Officers' Fellowship in Tanunda, Barossa Valley. It's a time when all of The Salvation Army Officers from around South Australia retreat for some spiritual and physical nourishment. Our divisional leaders have led an extraodinarily good week, and our guest speaker, Roger Brook, was excellent as always.
During the week we were able to have a look at the Territorial programs currently underway: "Salvos Out There", which we will most likely run in January/ February 2010 at Marion, and "Connecting Forward", which is a series of recommendations coming out of the last few years consulation with Salvos around the territory. You will see information on both in our On Fire magazine and in the Marion newsletter.
The most important part of the week, however, was sharing the Word of God around the theme of being "Designed to Last". One verse, in particular, stood out to me during the week. It is John 1:40 - "After they heard what John had to say, they followed Jesus". It stood out because I hope that when I say things, they help others to follow Jesus. In fact, I hope that's the result of everything we say and do at Marion Salvation Army.
