Anniversary 

Celebrations!Report by Lt Kathleen Pearce

• • •

On the 13th of November, The

Salvation Army in Ulverstone

held celebrations for their 125th

 Anniversary (in lieu of the actual

anniversary date – 16th

December 1986).

It was a wonderful time of 

reflection, celebration, praise,

prayer, inspiration and fellowship.

Commissioners Brian & Carolyn

Morgan (R) took to the stage in

special support of the event

prayerfully engaging us,

passionately energising us and

prophetically activating us for

present and future salvation and

service. The mercy seat was the

place to be. Majors Graeme &

Helen McClimont took theopportunity to install Lieutenant

In preparation for the 125th

Celebrations Kat & Kathleen

had the pleasure of looking 

through articles and

photographs from this Corps’

incredible life story. One of 

the favourites, gave a glowing 

description of the very first

Corps Officer, Captain

Georgina Edwards and her

helpers. Is this somewhat

prophetic in this new season

of the Corps’ life?

"A small detachment of The

Salvation Army is now located at the Leven,

consisting of Captain

Georgina Edwards, and two

assistants, male and female.

This small party hold

services nearly every night

near the river side… and

succeed in attracting pretty 

good audiences, the singing 

 being a pleasing feature in

the programme. The captain

has a good voice both for

singing and speaking. What

she has to say she says

unmistakably, whilst her

demeanour is courteous and

conciliating."

“What she has to say...”

Smile for the Camera! Cutting the Cake! Happy Snap in the Kitchen!

Kathleen Pearce into her new 

position as Associate Corps

Officer.

The Launceston Timbrel Brigade

invigorated the congregation

through their items, whichhelped us to praise God with a 

sense of awe and joy. Corps

Soldiers, Marion Johnston &

Mary Viney gave representative

talks during the meeting 

covering the entire 125 year

history of the Corps – many 

hilarious photos ensued! Peter

Johnston wowed the

congregation with a moving 

arrangement of “I need thee” for

solo cornet.

 After the meeting, a yummy 

fellowship lunch was enjoyed by 

all. An anniversary cake was cut

 by the longest serving soldier,

Max Johnston, and his

grandson Taylor Johnston.

Lunch also gave those in

attendance a good opportunity to

peruse the extensive historical

display put together by Max &

Marion Johnston - the oldest

 Articles of War on display, dated

1893.

Perhaps the most significant

contribution to the celebrations

came from Captain Jennifer

 Wheatley (Lieutenant Katherine

Dent’s mother) who created a 

quilt/wall hanging. This quilt was

a gift to the Corps on theoccasion of the Anniversary but

also given in dedication to

Lieutenant Jonathan Dent in

memoriam. The quilt was

developed from a photograph of a 

mural that had been

commissioned by the Corps

members many years previous

 which had since been painted

over. This gift was a moving 

tribute to the Corps and its

Soldiers and Officers – past,

present and future.

Overwhelmingly, the celebrationmeeting and luncheon were filled

 with warmth, smiles and good

stories. There was a Holy Spirit

energy felt by the 100 in

attendance that has, God-willing,

encouraged all who participated,

onward to love and good deeds in

increasing measure.

God bless the Ulverstone Corps.

God bless The Salvation Army.
