From The Officers Desk

Greetings from Captains Brian & Ann Johnston

Welcome to the web site of The Salvation Army at Great Yarmouth, as you visit the different pages you will see that we are a vibrant corps and our prayer is that we will continue to feed upon the goodness and grace that God has given us over many years.

The corps in recent months has developed and has changed direction with regards to our outreach among young people. We have recently commenced a new Sunday club called KAOS - (Kids alive on Sunday) and this is developing well. A new parent and toddler group has recently commenced on a Tuesday morning and this is aimed at the parents who live near the hall. The hall is situated near the docks area of Great Yarmouth and is right in the centre near council housing. We feel that this is the area where God wants us to devote most of our resources.

Recently the corps has commenced a soup run for the homelessness within the town, again we feel this is an important outreach into the community. The corps feels that it needs to reach out, not only has the soup run commenced, we are also working closely with the local social services department where we provide clothing, hot meals and food parcels. Great Yarmouth suffers from very high unemployment and recently this has risen. As a result Captain Brian Johnston has been appointed as chaplain to a local factory where unemployment has risen recently.

As a Christian church our main aim is to take the message of Jesus Christ to all corners of Great Yarmouth. Our Sunday worship is also changing direction in that we are now using more contemporary style songs, we aim to get a balance. But above everything our awesome God is being worshipped. We want his church to grow but in doing so we must remember to keep "the main thing the main thing - Jesus ".

If you would like to be part of this lively church then come along you will be made most welcome.

Ann joins me in thanking you for visiting our web site and if we can help you in any way then please make contact, you will see contact details as you surf the site.

Brian Johnston (Church leader).
