After a conversation with our CS I can now let you know that the long awaited post about our orders will be posted tomorrow at noon (GMT+1)
So, soon and very soon ….
Orders will be official tomorrow
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Reflecting on our upcoming appointment
Friday, March 27th, 2009
Tomorrow is the day when we find out what the Salvation Army has planned for our future. People keep asking me if I have figured out where we are going (like there where only one or two possible choices). But at last glance in the dispo there where about 160 corps to choose from and 1 third of those unofficered.
With the major reorganisation of the Swedish Territory going on it becomes even harder to figure out where we are going, we are have contemplated several different methods of divination but as we do much reflection in college I thought maybe I should give the mirror a try.
In preparation of our orders – Army life
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
So having spent nearly two years being told that we are going to be told where to go, we are now given a consultation where we have to reply to our appointment.
It is a scary thing to be responsable for such a big decision especially after you have been lulled into the false security that someone else will do it for you. However this responsability is what we have been asking for since we first considered officership, now that it is given to us, I am not sure I want it.
Nevertheless it is now time to grow up and leave the nest….
Appointments
Monday, February 16th, 2009The room was full of electric nervous energy. Not that anything was going to change… At the same time everything is about to change for the majority of the people in the room.
It was a weird place to be as a spectator. I knew our appointments where not among the brown envelopes on the table, I was nervous anyway…..
Lord I pray for all my friends that they will be catapultet into the most exciting adventure of their lives!
New beginnings
Saturday, September 27th, 2008The College has come alive again with the Prayer Warriors invading the campus and all the Witnesses returning from placement 4. The Warriors seems to be a good natured and fun filled session and we are looking forward to much interaction with them over the next year.
The campus is buzzing with stories of the placements and talk of our next placement. I heard the following conversation in the hallway yesterday
M: What’s in the envelope
D: Placement five
M: Cool where are you going?
D: Sainsbury’s!
Welcome weekend is finally here and we have started on the next stage of our journey towards officership. School starts with inductions and song practice just like last year. only slightly truncated as we get going with a full schedule allready second week.
his week we started practicing the sessional song again with Nicola leading the practice, what a difference! For the first time I really enjoyed song practice and for the first time the song came to life and actually spoke to my heart about who we are as a session and who we want to be as officers.
Anyways, my last sermon at Southwark was also a tribute to our session and a passionate plea for everyone to be the gospel! You can listen to it here.
