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.
