Swift Current Salvation Army will Celebrate 100 Years
Swift Current, SK – The Salvation Army in Swift Current is preparing to celebrate a major milestone. From June 7th to 9th, dignitaries, Salvation Army officers, staff and supporters will join together to help commemorate the Corps 100th anniversary.
This will be a weekend filled with entertainment, including: musical performances, children’s activities, a parade, Salvation Army Ministry Unit tours and much more (see full itinerary below).
Also, on Saturday, June 8th at the Centennial Dinner, a pair of Salvation Army officers – with extensive and compelling backgrounds – will be the guest speakers. Major Stephen Court and his wife, Major Danielle Strickland founded The Salvation Army’s 614 Urban Ministries on Vancouver’s notorious downtown east-side. They started the War College (an evangelism training college) in that same neighbourhood. Major Court was principal of a Salvation Army Training College in Australia. He has authored more than a dozen books and he and Danielle are currently serving in Edmonton, Alberta.
If you would like to reserve your tickets for the dinner please call (306) 778-0515 or email reception@swiftcurrentarmy.com.
