We are so pleased to announced that Cadet Kaitlyn Haddix has graduated from the College for Officers Training in New York, has been ordained and commissioned with the rank of Lieutenant of The Salvation Army. Lt. Kaitlyn was a joy to have on Campus last Christmas, and we simply cannot wait to see what the Lord will do in her life as her journey begins as the Assistant Corps Officer here at the Newark, Ohio Corps. We will officially be, welcoming her home, the first weekend in July, and pray that you will soon be able to extend your congratulations and well wishes to her yourself very soon! Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) Thank you for your donations!
