I'm glad I belong to William Booth Corps. Our Corps Officer, (pastor) Major Pascoe keeps faithfully to the church calender and observes the various seasons like Advent, Lent,Whitsun, etc. Yesterday was Palm Sunday. The hall was decorated with Palm branches, the songs were appropriately chosen and the message was on Jesus entering Jerusalem riding on the donkey to the cheers of the crowd. After the last song, children marched into the hall waving palm branches and singing hosannas to the Lord. What a delight to see the kids looking so happy singing praises as they marched round and round the hall much to the delight of the adults.
There were more than 200 people in the congregation and we all joined in singing and praising God. Sing, sing hosanna!
We now look forward to our meeting on Maundy Thursday when we shall meet to reflect on Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. On Good Friday we shall join with our brothers and sisters of the other corps in worship at Bishan.
Easter will begin with the usual Sunrise Service at 6.30 a.m. followed by breakfast. We shall meet again in the main hall for our Easter meeting at 10.00 a.m. when we shall celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
