"Our Corps" ~ A Tribute To Inala Chapel's 40th Anniversary

Written by Major Joy Coleman

The Corps at Inala is thriving and true
With good congregation and many folks new
For thiry-nine years and soon to add more
A good Anniversary will then be two score!
TIM AND DABAK are our leaders who care
They spread wide the words of the Gospel to share
A church is made up of the people within
There’s HUGHIE AND JAN, who assist Captains Lynn

Some MARGARETS, one CEDRIC and more than one JOY
With Johns, Jim and Shirleys, their skills to employ
Our choir superb by ANITA is led
She wields a mean baton, or so it is said!
LYNNE, EDITH and MAVIS, who has a fine touch,
JEAN, NORMAN and KAY, who we all love so much.
So many fine members who all do their part
And give of their best with kind, caring heart

LAURIE’S the man, for the Bible he knows
To share of its study each Tuesday he goes
ERN, GEORGE, and one LEON, so skilled at his trade
We’ve seen at our sales fine goods he has made
HORRIE stands tall and his welcome is true
WIN hastens around to welcome folk too
Our GRACE, PHYLLIS, RUBY, PEARL, HEATHER and NELL
In years past whose busy hands laboured so well
A smile from NOREEN sure brightens our day
So many good people, what further to say?

Whether Captain or Colonel, true Soldiers or Friend
EACH ONE is included, on that please depend.
The families, the singles, they all play their part
With JOY in GOD’S SERVICE and cheerful heart!
We remember with love, the ones laid aside
And some who once shared, now in Heaven abide
But the fellowship grows as we worship and pray
For the CORPS AT INALA is thriving today!
