NEW COMMITMENTS
GUISBOROUGH Four young people were enrolled as junior soldiers by corps officer Major Fiona Mugford. Gracelyn began attending the corps with her family a few years ago. They had previously attended local churches looking for somewhere to worship. Nicola has been attending the corps with her older siblings since she was young. Her family were first attracted to the Army after hearing an open-air meeting near their home. Sienna was brought along to Sunday school at The Salvation Army by her grandma some years ago. Chloe was born into a Salvationist family. Her grandparents and great-grandparents all attend the corps and her dad is the percussionist in the band. They are photographed alongside Luke, who is holding the YP flag, and Major Fiona. – SS
WILLIAMSTOWN The congregation were thrilled to welcome Josh Davies as a soldier and Hayley Vincent as an adherent. Having grown up in the area, Josh was originally made a soldier in 2011 but left the Army a few years later. He came back to the corps in recent years and felt God moving in his life. He found that the corps is where God wanted him to be and that it was the right time to rededicate his life.
STOTFOLD Captain Nicola Brooksbank welcomed Kate Hendra as an adherent. Kate has been attending the corps for six years and has felt welcome and supported through some difficult times. She enjoys singing with the songsters and attending the Lyfe Bible study group. Kate testified to her love of the Lord and readiness to take this step of commitment. Recruiting Sergeant Roy Scott offered prayer for Kate in her continuing spiritual journey. – HT
