FIELD PLACEMENT YEAR 2

This afternoon we found out that our field placement for this year will be at the Winnipeg East Corps, under the leadership of Majors Brian & Lynn Armstrong. We will be sharing this ministry unit with Bram & Anita Pearce and Barb & Mark Stanley. We are excited to work alongside the Pearce's again (we worked with them last year at Booth) and are excited to work with the Stanley's as well. Basically the Stanley's will simply be attending the Corps for worship as they have other field responsibilities at Booth College and DHQ. Winnipeg East was the corps that we requested to go to in our discussions with Mj. Ian Swan last semester - we had many reasons for this request - we've spent time praying about it - and feel very blessed by the outcome!

Time was spent learning the new sessional song today as well. No offense to the "God's Fellow Workers" but I like our song better - probably because it means more to me!! Nevertheless I am looking forward to the welcome meeting next Sunday! We also had the news that the GFW's will be getting 2 more sessionmates tomorrow! God is good! Our first community event is scheduled tomorrow at "birds hill park" so we will all get to meet them there!

Can't believe this first week is done!
