Sunday Church Blogging: Salvation Army in Trinity Bay South

 

After a brief hiatus, Sunday Church Blogging is back, this week featuring The Salvation Army Trinity Bay South Corps in New Harbour. Since starting this blog I’ve been learning a little bit about the different churches in the area, and I have to say that I am continually impressed by the online presence of the Salvation Army – I’m sure a good way to support and encourage new and young members – and by their outreach and programs. No doubt, they are pillars of the small communities they serve.

Meet The Fergusons, just like I had the pleasure of doing this weekend as they took advantage of our April Special. They enjoyed themselves at The Osprey and on our ATV, and we enjoyed having them.

Jackie and Dave checked out Sunday morning, on their way to the Salvation Army Church in Twillingate, which recently celebrated its 125 year of ministry.  Their regular church is the Pathway Community Church in Paradise, which has services every Sunday at 11 o’clock at the Rotary Paradise Youth Centre.

The Salvation Army has a rich history and great tradition of helping out the poor of this province, and while I am not a member I certainly respect what they do, and was happy to meet these soldiers (church members). In researching this blog post I learned that Newfoundland boasts the largest per capita numbers of Salvation Army soldiers in Canada, and they still carry out outreach work today.

I’ve always been a people-person – that’s why I’ve excelled as a business- and salesman. I have been more than thrilled that my new job as Happy Innkeeper allows me to continue to meet people and hear their stories on such an intimate level. I can’t wait til the summer for our high-season to really kick in.
