Band of Survivors Team Update 21

Hey everyone!

Band of Survivors going by SOOPER (yes, I spelled it right) fast, and we all are having great times in God’s love and protection.

What do you guys usually do on Sunday? Let me guess. Waking up early in the morning and going to the corps? Well, that’s what we do here at Band of Survivors, too. We went to Mt. Greenwood Corps located in a Southside of Chicago today and participated in the Holiness Meeting there.

Sounds way too plain? Well, we Survivors never do things that are ordinary, plain, or boring. Our girls came up with an idea having a service completly backwards, and that’s what we actually did today at Mt. Greenwood Corps! We opened up the service with the worship dance, to the song “Shackles” by MaryMary, and ended with the entire congregation singing and worshipping God in joy! I actually think it is better for us to break or think out of the box sometimes and worship God differently or extraordinarily. Why don’t you think of some special ways to worship God today? I am sure God will appreciate your creativity.

Today’s sermon was about “why we sing” spoken by Eric Himes. So why do we sing? We all are God’s creation, so our voice itself is God’s creation as well. We can do lots of things with our voice. We can spread Gospels and good news of Jesus, and I think these are one of the biggest gifts that God has given us. So why don’t we sing THANKS to God?

Also, one of Survivors, Melanie Rozwalka, was enrolled and became a soldier today. I hope and pray that you can warmly welcome her not just as a member of the Salvation Army, but a true and dedicated member of God’s Kingdom.

Like I have mentioned above, Band of Survivors is going by fast, and we have done our best to declare this world that Jesus is alive in our hearts. Please keep praying for Survivors to carry out God’s will!

In Christ, Catherine Park
