It was with sadness, but joy, we had the privilege of celebrating the life of Margaret Williams yesterday. Margaret had been a part of our church since 1989 when she moved to Adelaide from Melbourne.
Margaret was known to us all for her smile, her love of children and her faith. She had worked in children's ministries for many years, and pioneered the SAGALA movement at Seacombe Gardens. She had been a member of the Four Fold Fellowship - a group dedicated to Salvation Army scouting movements and using them to reach young families.
It is also with sadness and joy that today we remember Gwen Kilpatrick. Gwen was promoted to glory this morning aged 101! Gwen had been a member of our church since its inception. In Salvation Army terms she was one of the original soldiers placed on the Corps roll.
Gwen had a great sense of humour, and even of late her family mention that she would be joking around with the great-granchildren. What great memories to have.
This week we are praying for the Williams and Kilpatrick families. We rejoice that we knew two great women of faith. We celebrate their promotion to glory.
