This weekend the Canada and Bermuda territory will join in celebration with the Friends of Christ Session as they are ordained and commissioned as lieutenants in The Salvation Army.

Salvationists from across the territory will be gathering in Toronto at Canada Christian College for two great events:

Friday evening (June 22) will feature a musical presentation entitled "I'll Fight" featuring soloists as well as the OCE Divisional Youth Chorus and the Canadian Staff Band. This program recognizes not only the centenary of the Promotion to Glory of General William Booth, but also the ongoing mission engagement of Salvationists today in social justice issues.

Saturday evening (June 23) the Ordination and Commissioning of the Friends of Christ Session will commence at 7PM ET. Having completed 22 months of training at the CFOT in Winnipeg, the 18 members of the Friends of Christ will be ordained and commissioned as Salvation Army officers. In addition there will be a recognition of their first appointments. They will be joined on the platform by the members of the Proclaimers of the Resurrection Session and the Aux-Captains currently in training.

Both of these events will be streamed live at 7PM ET through the CFOT.ca website for those unable to attend in person.
