What a great weekend for us at William Booth Corps. We had the visit of The Adelaide Congress Hall Band. Following their visit to Indonesia, they came to Singapore to spend the weekend with us.
There was a concert on Saturday evening. Comrades from other Corps in Singapore joined us for the occasion. It was a great night.
This morning they took part in our usual Sunday morning meeting. Our own bandsmen joined them in providing music this morning.
Adelaide Congress Hall Band was the first Salvation Army Band to be formed in the Southern Hemisphere. Captain Sutherland, the first Salvation Army officer in Australia established it in 1881 with just eleven players. Through the years the band has continued to play a prominent part in the civic life of the City of Adelaide and represents The Salvation Army throughout South Australia. Extensive touring has seen the band visit most Australian states and also New Zealand and now Indonesia and Singapore.
Today the band continues its fine tradition of service to both The Salvation Army and the community of Adelaide. It is seen in the streets of the city, visiting Hospitals and Care Homes, at civic functions maintaining its primary objective of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This morning Captain Matt Reeve, their Corps Officer (Pastor) gave the message based on Romans 6: 1-14 entitled "The changing Kingdom."
We give thanks to God for another wonderful and blessed weekend.
