“We’ve thought about turning the Fabric Fair into a whole weekend event, or maybe charging a fee to have early access to our products,” says Deborah Kazar. “But that would require our volunteers to be here an extra day or two. These are women in their 70s and 80s, and they’re already working hard year-round to make that one day of the fair into a big success.”
Praising God Through the Storm
During the worst flooding disaster Vermont had seen in decades, pastors Keith and Katherine Jache led recovery efforts in the name of God and The Salvation Army. “When you arrive at your new assignment, there are certain people you should seek out and get to know immediately. Of course, people like the mayor are important but also town management workers like the local fire chief. In a disaster situation, that’s the person who is going to be in charge,” says Major Keith.
God’s Word Behind Bars
The men at Muskingum County Jail in Zanesville, Ohio, were at Bible study. Two participants whispered, as if each was trying to convince the other to speak up. They had just listened to Salvation Army Envoy George Bates and ministry assistant Seth Hall talk about the Book of Exodus, and how God told Moses that He would be with him as Moses set up his tent outside of the Israelite camp, where Moses could work and settle disputes.
Being Called to Love
Captain Kendall Stout, corps officer of The Salvation Army Lock Haven Corps in eastern Pennsylvania, talks about Bible sword drills, welcoming people who are homeless to the church, and how becoming a married partner in ministry will change the way she serves.
CPR Can Save a Life
If someone’s heartbeat suddenly stops, it means they have gone into cardiac arrest. Their heart is unable to pump oxygen-rich blood to their body’s vital organs. Without oxygen, an organ like the brain can suffer irreversible damage, even in a matter of minutes. To prevent this from happening, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a hands-on procedure anyone can learn, helps the blood travel through the body until expert medical personnel can restore the heart’s ability to pump blood.
BBQ & Bible Study at the Falls
In the early days of summer 2023, members of The Salvation Army Niagara Falls Citadel Corps knocked on over 2,000 doors to invite the community to a series of weekly summer BBQs. They also asked everyone if there was anything in their lives that they wanted the Salvationists to pray for.
Yolanda Cellucci
If you’re fortunate enough to meet style icon and business owner Yolanda Cellucci, it’s likely that she will greet you while dressed in the finest white outfit you’ve ever seen. White is her uniform for any event she takes part in, whether it’s hosting a fashion show with players from the Boston Celtics as runway models, or giving out toys at The Salvation Army in her hometown of Waltham, Mass.
Stuck indoors?
If a sudden rain shower spoils your summer plans, why not make it a family game day instead? Board games, ranging from gently used to new, can be found at The Salvation Army.
