Exploring The Salvation Army Classes
We are pleased to announce that we will be running Exploring The Salvation Army classes at Parramatta Salvos. These classes are similar to 'Soldiership' classes and have the potential to lead people towards soldiership or adherency, however, there is no obligation to become a solider or adherent after completing the course. It is a way to learn more about Salvation Army Doctrines and the lifestyle commitments that are influenced by our doctrines. It's a great way to understand more about what we believe and why. 

Sarah and Kylie will be running these classes (6 in total) on Sunday afternoons from 2pm-4pm. The dates are as follows: 19 June, 26 June, 3 July, 24 July, 7 August, 14 August. 

Please chat to Kylie or Sarah if you would like to be part of these classes!
