We are excited to announce that “My Story” is the theme for our 2023 Divisional Women’s Retreat! Our Women’s Department is planning an unforgettable weekend filled with workshops, games, free time activities, a banquet, and much more. We will have with us a praise team from Hawaii Kroc Center. Our guest speaker is Toni Collier. She is the founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, an international women's ministry that helps women process their brokenness and reclaim hope. We cannot wait to hear what God has done throughout your story. The weekend theme verse comes from 2 Timothy 1:3-11 and the theme song is “God is in the story.”

August 7-12 Camp Redwood Glen, Scotts Valley, CA Registration opens next week
Anthem (formerly known as WYI), is a week-long event for young adults, ages 18-28 that fosters a space for participants to explore the story of Jesus and learn how it intertwines with their own stories and the stories of others.
Anthem is more than an event. Anthem is a safe place for young adults to experience community and discover what it means to live out the story of Jesus in their own lives
Anthem seeks to create a space where delegates feel empowered to worship freely.
Our goal is that attendees feel welcome at Anthem and to come as they are to worship Jesus.
Our anthem is Victory over sin. Our anthem is Communion with God and His creation. Our anthem is praise to the creator God for His love, power, and glory.
International Prayer Focus
This initiative of turning our thoughts and prayers towards the same part of the world at some point in the same week is a beautiful way to unite us as a global Army family and I thank you for the commitment you each give to this.
Australia Territory
Territorial Leader: Commissioner Miriam Gluyas
Commissioner Miriam Gluyas, Territorial Commander of The Salvation Army Australia asks us to pray:
That as The Salvation Army Territory we will become Jesus-centred, Spirit-led and God’s Hope revealed. For faith to increase. For a real reliance on God. Salvationists - and disciples who make disciples who make disciples. A Godly strategy about making leaders into the future.
Praying for Leader: A Prayer for Being
Father God,
Your word reminds us that apart from you, we can do nothing.
You are the source of all that we need.
Father, forgive our misplaced attempts to run at life without stopping, when we fill our days with good works and leave no space to be with you.
Help us all to slow down to your pace, to remain rooted in you, to become aware of your constant presence.
Help us to develop rhythms that centre our lives on Jesus, deeply connect us to people, bring joy and most of all bring glory to you.
Leading your church is demanding. Demanding on time and on energy.
We pray that our leaders will follow the example of Jesus.
That they will make time to stop. To be with you.
To be refreshed and replenished in your presence.
To receive vision and guidance, courage and strength.
To allow the transforming work of your Holy Spirit to take place.
May they be led more by Jesus,
To live and lead more like Jesus
So that others will be led to Jesus.
Amen.
May the Lord bless you as you bless others through your intercessions on their behalf.
