On Sunday during our morning celebration meeting we enrolled five new Junior Soldiers, Captain Susan Woodgate introduced the children and asked them a few simple questions about themselves to help the congregation to get to know them better, unsurprisingly Grace's favourite thing is 'shoes'.Captain Ian Woodgate assisted the children to make their Junior Soldier promise and then Clare Hayward our Children's Ministries Officer introduced the new Junior Soldiers to their prayer partners, who gave them their certificates and gifts. The children and their prayer partners knelt to sign their certificates and to pray. The leaders of the church prayed over all the new Junior Soldiers.
Three of our older Junior Soldiers led us all in prayer, each member of the congregation was given a ball, onto which they wrote a prayer for the Ashford Junior Soldiers. The balls were thrown into the air and everybody took one ball and will pray for the child/situation on the ball.
Captain Ian led the sermon on God's Promises using the colours of the rainbow Renewed, Obedient, Yielded, Giving, Born-Again, In-filled and Victorious.
Next Sunday, 22nd June will conclude the enrolments and our older Junior Soldiers will also be renewing their promises to God.
