We had one of our founding members give the story of how the Glenroy Corps started and then an emotional standing ovation when he was finally given a framed certificate of recognition of all his hard work. We also had a representative of the women of the corps to give her perspective, then the younger folk (represented by myself) and then our CSM to look at where to from here.
We had my brother enrolled as a Senior Soldier with a powerful testimony - (in summary) 'You have to make a decision - what is it?!' Powerful and straight to the point!
A large brass band and a combined Songster brigade both participated in the celebration with a small number of past Officers leading the singing while 2 past past bandmaster's led the band along with the present bandmaster and also an honorary bandmaster for the celebration.
The meeting was finished with a short word from our 'Spiritual' leader from THQ Lieut. Colonel Brian Hood who has been leading most of our Sunday meetings this year in our absence of Corps Officers. You won't find many better people than Lieut. Colonel Brian and Elaine Hood - please pray for them and the many ways they serve God.
We had a great time of sharing over lunch and watched a PowerPoint presentation of many, many photo's/video's from the past 50 years.
We captured the day on video, a DVD should be released of the morning soon, so if you're interested in obtaining a copy just let me know!
"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His"
Psalm 100:1-3a
To God be the glory great things He has done (and is still doing!)
