The celebrations of the Norwood Corps 125th Anniversary began with a Reunion Dinner Friday night. The banquet hall was packed and there were memories of the grace of God among us flowing freely through the hall. Some came from great distances to see friends of many years and to share happy stories, some revised through the years. Major Glenda Daddow, Major Cindy Shellenberger, and the Divisional Leaders, Majors Dennis and Pat Rowe all shared in leadership of the night. It was just great.
Today started with a Men's Breakfast meeting followed by a reunion band practice. The breakfast was terrific and the fellowship strong. There were also multiple historic displays that drew great interest and recollection.
The afternoon was filled with a BBQ picnic with games, face painting, family fun and again, good food. This is a wonderful corps with as promising a future as it has had a God-glorifying past. We're expecting a time of renewal tomorrow in the Sunday meetings.
1 Thessalonians 1:3 (NIV)
3 We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
