Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking at the senior school assembly at Westminster. Westminster has a proud tradition of promoting a holistic education that includes a strong community service focus.
For a decade now, Westminster's senior boarders have raised money for our Red Shield Appeal by participating in the doorknock. They have raised an average of $1500 per year. As well as this, at least annually they send a community services team to our Corps to learn and join in service activities at our Seacombe Centre. This happened last weeek.
I was able to present a certificate of appreciation to the Captain of Boarders, Alex, and also say a few words about the contribution that the school is making through their support of The Salvation Army. It was not insignificant that in the same assembly the students were promoting their next community service project - supporting Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child.
Our church is again, also, supporting Operation Christmas Child. If you are around Marion and interested in joining in this worthwhile project, please speak to Brian Hunt.
