Welcome our newest Junior Members

25.09.2023

On Sunday 17th September 2023 we welcomed our three newest Junior Soldiers(members).

Alex, Chloe and Emelia all decided to give their heart to Jesus and wanted to show publicly that they are Christians and their church is The Salvation Army.

When our children become a Junior Soldier they learn about how to be a Christian through teaching and the Junior Soldier’s Promise which is as follows “

I know that Jesus is my Saviour from sin,
I have asked Him to forgive my sins,
and I will trust Him to keep me good.

By His help, I will be His loving and obedient child,
and will help others to follow Him.

I promise to pray, to read my Bible and, 
by His help, to lead a life that is clean in thought, word and deed.
I will not use anything that may injure my
body Or my mind, including harmful drugs,
alcohol & tobacco.

Major Adrian Allman (Corps Officer) guided them through the ceremony and then they knelt at the Mercy Seat (Place of Prayer), signed a copy of their Promise and were prayed over by an adult helper from Sunday School.

After this they each gave a testimony to explain why they wanted to be a Junior Soldier. Alex said God has given him a great life and he will always be grateful to God for his wonderful family, friends and neighbours. Emelia wanted to praise God and show him how much she appreciates everything He has done for her. Chloe wants to listen to and follow God’s guidance as it tells us to in the Bible.

Please welcome these wonderful children as they take this step in their faith journey
