Territorial Ministry Tour
Coming soon to a ministry unit near you: this June and July, the Canada and Bermuda Territory's senior leadership will be fanning out across the territory to visit ministry units, large and small, in the British Columbia, Prairies and Northern Territories, and Atlantic divisions.
These visits will culminate in The Salvation Army's participation in the Calgary Stampede, together with members of the Canadian Staff Songsters and Calgary's Glenmore Temple Band. Leadership will march in the Calgary Stampede Parade, along with the Glenmore Temple Band, which has been participating in the parade for more than 100 years.
This tour will give leaders an opportunity to take the pulse of our territory at the local level, celebrate how God is moving, and thank front-line leaders for their contributions to mission.
