Maryborough 125th

The Melbourne Staff Songsters were guests of the Maryborough Corps over this weekend to assist them in celebrating 125 years of ministry within their local community. Captains Andrew and Kelly Walker have a wide-reaching, effective Christian influence as leaders of this vibrant, growing corps community.

It was great to witness the exciting present with the enrolment of 5 Adherents, and hear something of the past victories that inspire the modern-day Salvationists and friends of the corps to pave the way for a bright, hopeful future.

In honour of their 125th anniversary, Captain Peter Walker (CO's brother) composed 'March Maryborough' ~ a joyous, toe-tapping rendition of two theme songs: "Storm the forts of the darkness" and "Fill the world with glory".

Deuteronomy 4:29b (NIV) ~ "...seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul."

MSS Executive Officer

Our weekend got off to a great start when Melbourne Staff Songster Leader Brian Hogg announced that Major Judith Soeters, a fellow MSS member, has been appointed as our new Executive Officer.

I am confident that the ministry of the MSS will be greatly enhanced by the spiritual leadership of Major Judith. May God bless her more richly still!
