Regular classes have now ended at CFOT. This past week was spent in the writing of exams. Appropriately, the Witnesses for Christ session concluded their SA Theology class with a focus on eschatology - the study of the end times. Major Ray Harris unveiled a song in class that celebrates the end of theology class.

This video presentation was created for a youth group meeting on mission. It is very well done, and captures historical video elements, spoken word and interpretative imagery. Remember to pray for our present General.

The right to speak freely is something we cherish in our society. In fact most western democracies list free speech as a fundamental right. So what happens when one’s right to free speech collides with one’s right to practice freedom of religion? On Tuesday the Eats and Exegetes group discussed this issue in light of the Muhammad cartoon controversy.

Cadet Matt Sheils invites you to get behind the wheel of officership as he explores the roles of a Salvation Army Officer. He begins with Proverbs 31:8-9: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Submitted for your reading enjoyment.

On Saturday March 29th, people around the world observed what has become known as Earth Hour, an initiative created by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund, not World Wrestling Federation). This is a day when earth’s citizens were asked to turn off the electricity in their homes and businesses for one hour between 8:00pm-9:00pm local time.
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Hebrews 12:8-9
If you are not disciplined
(and everyone undergoes discipline),
then you are illegitimate children
and not true sons.
Moreover, we have all had human fathers
who disciplined us
and we respected them for it.
How much more should we submit
to the Father of our spirits and live!
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Daniel 6:10
Now when Daniel learned
that the decree had been published,
he went home to his upstairs room
where the windows opened toward Jerusalem.
Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed,
giving thanks to his God,
just as he had done before.
This Easter CFOT Cadets and Officers had the privilege of participating in a variety of Easter activities and services at Corps in Alberta.
Small goups of Cadets/Officers participated in all aspects of the Easter Services and were also able to spend some valuable time with youth groups. In Calgary tradition, some of our CFOT folks were “white hatted” (see photos below). A wonderful time of worship, outreach and fellowship was had by all.
A big thank you to the Alberta Divsion for hosting us! You have been so gracious to us in sharing your ministries, your homes and your hearts with us…
