I wanted to share with you some of the great things that are happening around our Corps, that were highlighted at the meeting today.
- A boy from last weeks School Holiday Program went home and told his mum about the cross and what it meant that Jesus died for him. This has opened the door for Paul to spend time with his mum and share the gospel.
- Kerryn and Brad were able to assist one of our former volunteers who was in serious need of medical attention and take her to the hospital, ensuring the right care.
- We had a report of 30 children from the Summer Adventure camp accepting Christ into their lives. Of those children 11 have been referred to our church for follow up. Paul has gifts that he is able to deliver to the families.
- Kerryn and Lynette have been this week to do a CSS outreach visit to a lady who is desperate for community and is asking about activities at our church.
- Judith reported 16 visitors in the month of January to our worship service - and more than half of them have made a return visit. We also had a report from Kathleen about the way in which her family were made to feel welcome by our church.
- We heard about a new small group and another small group that is so big it is splitting.
- We were able to talk about the care being offered for a number of our serious ill Salvationists, Ellie, Colin and Eric.
- We heard about some people that Greg had been able to assist in the shop today. He helped a young couple, for example, who are expecting their first child and needed equipment. He also helped a man this morning wandering through our carpark that was desperate for a blanket.
The news keeps coming. We are part of a great church. I am blessed and proud to lead this team.
