Salvation Army: Serving Communities



Pam Rhodes marks 150 years of the Salvation Army in Wales by discovering the remarkable story of how it started its work there, and she looks back at stories that highlight how the 'Army' is still serving communities across the UK today. \n\nPam travels to Merthyr Tydfil and the oldest Salvation Army church still in use in Wales, where she learns how two young girls were sent to this tough industrial town in 1878 to preach the gospel and – with God’s help – succeeded in bringing many people to faith. \n\nAled Jones visits Liverpool and the Salvation Army’s community space ‘Strawberry Field’ to see how the place that inspired a classic Beatles song is now encouraging young people to find employment. \n\nAnd we explore the Salvation Army’s love of music and singing as the Rev Kate Bottley joins a tambourine and timbrel session, and we hear from their world-famous ‘International Staff Songsters’. \n\nWith glorious music, songs and hymns inspired and sung by the Salvation Army. \n\n1. Strength Will Rise as We Wait upon the Lord – Salvation Army, Sale \n2. Oh God of Burning Cleansing Flame – The Church of Christ the Cornerstone, Milton Keynes \n3. Here Is Love, Vast as the Ocean – Tenby Harbour \n4. How Great Thou Art – led by Katherine Jenkins, Pershore Abbey \n5. Sing and Rejoice - International Staff Songsters \n6. Make a Joyful Noise - International Staff Songsters \n7. Praise Him, You Heavens - Salvation Army, Sale
