MAKE A PLAN FOR JOY

BREAKFAST WORKSHOP

Saturday, June 10 • 8:30 a.m.

Cerritos Sheraton

You could say: Joy is the new grit. Why? You’ve read the headlines. You’ve seen the memes. There’s a collective sense of burnout. Of what more? Of what if?

And yet, what do you want YOUR life to reflect?

This is a friend-raising, goodness-finding, intention-setting free event over breakfast and you are invited.

As a child and teenager growing up in this small corps, the attention given to the youth was marvelous—from Sunday School, Junior Soldier classes, Corps Cadets, youth group and "YP" meetings. As children, we found our place!

I know times have changed, and our methods have changed, but as I think of my beginnings in this tiny corps in Newfoundland, I am reminded that there are some things that never change. Our need for godly connections has not changed. We all need to find our place. Our need to be taught the truths of Scripture has not changed. We need to be people focused on the Word. Our need to be invested in and to invest in others has not changed. We need to find our purpose.

We have been created to love God and be loved by him. I’m grateful for my humble beginnings and for the godly people who influenced my life. Thank you, Lord, for inspiring the men of the town to build the Whosoever House that became a beacon and a place of transformation for so many for more than 100 years.

Due to out-migration in some of our coastal communities in Newfoundland, my home corps officially closed as a corps last year. However, the faithful members have found their place in other Salvation Army congregations and continue to let their light shine. They continue to let the Glad Tidings ring, and for that I am grateful. NFC
