MEET OUR NEW ADHERENT MEMBERS

Ann Moore spoke on how she thanked God that she was now rooted firmly in a church, and that Love helped her to make a decision to become a part of it. Ken Hammond had been searching for a church community for a while, and found himself at The Salvation Army - the last place he thought he would be. He spoke on how acceptance and support had meant a lot to him since starting to worship with us. Margaret Sloper spoke on how the spirit had worked in her and helped her to find love and acceptance through the corps. Joan Hammond, along with Ken, had been searching for a while for a church and thanked God for the place she has found within The Salvation Army. Roger Moore, married to Ann, spoke on how this was very much like coming home, his grandparents being Salvation Army Officers. Peter Andrews spoke on how he had been involved in the Anglican Church for many years and now found himself at the army, and proud to take his place as a member. He recalled how in fighting in the war was the first time he met the Salvation Army. Gerry Slessenger had moved to the area recently and looking for a church found him at the Army. Straight away he knew that this was his spiritual home. Sandra Matthews had attended the army some years ago, but recently after the sad death of her son, and the army making contact to support her and then conduct his funeral, she linked with us and made us her spiritual home. Many of the new adherents spoke of how the leadership had been a great support and encouragement and helped them to know that The Salvation Army was the place for them.

We thank God for them all, and we do our new leaders who have encouraged them so much.
