THE CHURCH WITH A HEART IN THE HEART OF Corps Officers: Major Dean Clarke Major Vicki Clarke Assoc. Corps Officer: Capt. Christelle Pearson Thou Christ of burning, cleansing flame, Thy blood-bought gift today we claim, Look down and see this waiting host, Give us the promised Holy Ghost; We want another Pentecost, God of Elijah, hear our cry: Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire! To make us fit to live or die, To burn up every trace of sin, To bring the light and glory in, The revolution now begin, Tis fire we want, for fire we plead, The fire will meet our every need, For strength to ever do the right, For grace to conquer in the fight, For pow r to walk the world in white, To make our weak hearts strong and brave, Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire! To live a dying world to save, Oh, see us on Thy altar lay Our lives, our all, this very day; To crown the off ring now we pray, General William Booth SASB 203 May this be our prayer for our Army.

PROMOTION TO GLORY Mrs Margaret Bull aged 79 years, the wife of Maurice and the mother of Major Fran Everitt, was Promoted to Glory Tuesday 3 rd June We thank and praise God that Margaret, Maurice and Fran were able to spend the last moments together before Heaven welcomed Margaret to be with her beloved Lord. Margaret was also the precious grandmother of Sam and Elise. Many folk will remember Margaret who worked at South Queensland Divisional Headquarters before her retirement and served as a soldier at Brisbane City Temple Corps for many years. We offer to Maurice, Fran and Mark, Sam and Renee and Elise our deepest sympathy and prayers, knowing that the Lord s continuing presence in their lives will sustain them during these days.

7 The Salvation Army is pleased to announce that we will be opening a state of the art respite facility located in Bracken Ridge within the next few months. This new facility will meet all disability requirements and standards for respite and will be staffed by a fully qualified team of caring and committed people. This service will offer both emergency respite support and pre-planned respite support which can be booked up to 12 months in advance based on the need of the family and individual. We will soon be opening a waiting list and further communication will be forthcoming when this occurs. The demand for respite services continues to grow. In a recent study regarding demand for service against capacity to provide services, it was revealed that 1631 people are in need of respite either in home or centre based. Out of the 963 people indicating a need for respite accommodation, children up to the age of 18 were identified as the most in need of this type of service (585 children needing respite) and the next highest being young adults (188 young people needing respite). The Salvation Army recognises the pressure and strain on families that care for someone with a disability and having examined this need we have responded by planning over the past 12 months to build a respite facility for families who have a loved one with a disability. The main purpose of this respite facility is to give families the opportunity to take a break, plan a holiday or in fact just have that time to take care of themselves, relax and unwind for a period of time whilst having the assurance that their loved one is being supported in a safe, caring environment. If you require further information in relation to respite, costs or to arrange a needs assessment then please contact SAILSS Office on DATE SAVER Every adult who is involved in any way with children, youth and leadership at BCT Corps is required to attend training to meet The Salvation Army Safe Salvos requirements. Please save this date. Safe Salvos training will be held at BCT on Sunday 12th October, 2014 from 1pm to 6pm.
