The Summer Challenge was launched today!!!! From now until the end of June, everyone is challenged to raise money in whatever way, to contribute towards supporting this years annual appeal, held in September. The Annual Appeal supports the social and community work, services, centres and programmes of The Salvation Army in the UK and Republic of Ireland - which is the largest provision of such after the government. This is an really important opportunity for us to unite together to seek to show God's Glory through our love and care for others - loving one another as God has commanded us. Various events have been planned to help towards this, and members and friends have been encouraged to raise money through outreach and seeing the opportunities to use it for such.

To help launch this, Majors Christine and Paul Kingscott launched the challenge, and helped us understand a little about those who benefit from the annual appeal, through their own work and experiences in Salvation Army Social Work. It was a very help insight and helped us to consider about the needs of so many others around us. Songs used today included:- I will enter His Gates; Joyful, Joyful we adore You; If I were a butterfly; King of kings; There is a Redeemer.
