Volunteers

I am always grateful for the people that volunteer their time to support the mission and ministry of our Corps.

Tonight we are having our annual event where we thank all of our staff and volunteers for their efforts and contributions.

Of course, some of the most significant volunteer hours are given by soldiers and adherents of our Corps that seek no appreciation except to glorify God and reach our community with the gospel. To those good people, I still want to say thank you for your contribution to God's Kingdom. It is noticed and valued.

I also appreciate the extra mile given by everyone at this time of year. Just today, apart from those helping Angela organise tonight's event, there are people leading Bible studies, organising shop sales, collecting at Westfield, running our counting house and banking, acting as couriers, collecting food from supermarkets and radio promotions, playing carols, sorting donations and all sorts of other things. I'm even aware of soldiers of our Corps running friends to hospital today.

God is in everything you do for him. Thank you.

PS Please keep in mind Majors Doris and Ross Lewis and pray for their family. Doris' mother, Mrs McKeand died this morning aged 99.
