DON'T MISS THIS WEEKEND

SUNDAY 29TH JANUARY 2012

The hall was full for the Celebration of the enrolement of Rebecca Burtonwood as a soldier of Jesus Christ in The Salvation Army. As part of our celebration, we were taken the to yellow brick road, and reminded of the fact that Dorothy kept her eyes on the destination! Yet things knocked her off track, and the children travelled on the yellow brick road from the point of where Rebecca would sign her articles of War, so her adventure begins, but along the way things were throwned which could have knocked the children off track from following the way of the Lord. The children were reminded that we needed to stay firm and strong on our journey. Songs today included:- In the Army of Jesus we've taken our stand; Follow, Follow I will follow Jesus (chorus); I have decided to follow Jesus; Guide me O thy great Jehovah; Lord I make a full surrender. Rebecca was enrolled as a soldier and signed her Covenant before the Cross. Our recuiting Sergeant, Don Jones, shaed some words of blessing and encouragement, and people came forward to pray their own prayers over Rebecca and to encouragement her on her journey. During times of prayer, many people came forward to renew their own covenant and commitment or to make some prayer before God about their own spiritual journey. Our prayer remains for Rebecca as she continues in her discipleship journey with Christ,.

Our newest soldier, Rebecca Burtonwood
