In her address, Captain Susan encouraged us to not look back, but look towards the goal, because other wise we are drained of energy and can totally loose direction, she said. Exploring words from Phillippians, she looked at the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on the goal and aiming well, but recognised that we might well have missed the goal over the years - but how God does not hold back our purpose and plan within His will and purpose. Captain Ian led the meeting, which featured songs:- Wake Up O Sleeper, Shine Jesus Shine (Chorus), Be Happy, In Christ alone, What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought. Michael and Jackie shared their music ministry with us; and we celebrated the welcoming into membership of Sandra Beech. We thank God for all He did among us today.

A good number of the church travelled to Westminster Central Hall in London to celebrate the commissioning of the new officers in the Salvation Army. The event featured the world leaders of The Salvation Army and the UK leaders. Our main reason for wanting to support was to celebrate with our 'cadet' Mark Cotterill, who had shared a year of sunday placements with us. God moved powerfully throughout the day and we were thrilled to be a part of it.
