The Blood and Fire Drop-In

[chickette]

Not sure (some who wear them did go to the conference, I think) - I do know there were some for sale at the UNLIMITED conferences up here and in Sydney last year.

I think they're really cool - been wanting to find where to buy them from, but they seemed to swallow up into the earth after conference...

Sasch

Yeh I ordered mine from the conference and it took ages before I got mine but after that they just seemed to stop making them. I know Box Hill in Melbourne sells alot of Salvo clothing. Whether they sell some over the net or anything I'm not sure?

This forum feels just like home to me (a second home, next to OBOB). I can't explain it. It's so nice to have Salvationists on CF! I think I'll very often hang around here.

for everyone!

 

[chickette]

I know what you mean. This is really the only place on Christian Forums that I've felt like I can actually fit in.....The rest of the site is just too big!!!!!!!

And now we have our own congregation! Hurray!

Now that CC-SA is here, and this thread is IN the Salvation Army forum...

Why not rename the thread? (I'm the only one that can do that, so, feel free to pick a new name and PM me, or just post it here).

At last. I finally figured out how to change my avetar.


I don't know about renaming this thread. What would we change it to? CO's decision I reckon.

 

[Abiel]

OK. How about The Blood and Fire Drop-In ? Or we could collect some suggestions and have a quick poll.

 

[chickette]

YAY! Go Blood and Fire! We had it as our cell group name for a while but our youth pastor didn't like it! Which was kinda dumb since we are the Salvation Army!

 

[Abiel]

I found out I am related (sort of) to another member of the Corps today, which given neither of us have any family living in our original stomping grounds is weird. It works like this. My husband and sons can claim Captain James Cook as an ancestor, and after a chat at Home League lunch today, Dorothy told me she too claims this ancestry. So hence forth, Auntie Dorothy, though I guess I could be the auntie, but since she is over 80, I think she has claim to seniority!

 

[Andy Broadley]

Hey - that's really cool

 

[Andy Broadley]

Going off line now guys as I've a few things to do before I go home at 10pm.


Have a good day/night/evening or whatever it is where you are.

God Bless you all, and I'll catch up with you tomorrow.

 

[Abiel]

Looks like the UK is starting to sign off. What's my thought for tonight???

Never forget- we are Saved to Save.

 

[Abiel]

Off to the jumble I go! See you all later! 7:50am gmt

 

[Andy Broadley]

Glad to see your jumble sale ministry is thriving

Jumble sale ministry hey? What is that exactly?

My wife and I went through all our belongings and sold stuff at our corps' monthly markets when raising money to pay for our Zimbabwe mission trip. We're thinking of continuing it now to raise funds for the camp we were based at while in Zim.

 

[Bradford]

Hope everyone is having a good day

I'm about to go and try to sleep yet again. I'll probably be back in half an hour or so. Either way, talk to you later.

Jumble sale= selling old stuff people give us 3 items for £1. Refreshments available also.

Motivation=raises a bit of money to pay a few bills etc.
Ulterior motive= opens doors, chatting with regulars who dont come to Sunday meetings, being available etc etc

Today £40 raised. One ex soldier chatted to. One family tracing contact made. Several lonely elderly ministered to. One lady encouraged in her efforts to learn sigh language. One Captain and one Envoy not doing paperwork, and having fun!

Thanx Abiel, I knew what a jumble sale is, just wasn't sure how you were using it as a ministry opportunity. Sounds great, always nicer to spend time with people rather than paper.

I have learned not to take language for granted on CF-I once had to explain conkers to an American.
