The Boys are Gone!

The girls have the week to themselves at The Salvation Army and are rejoicing, because the boys have left for camp!
What the girls won’t experience until next week is that Hidden Falls Camp is a LOT of fun: indoor swimming, hundreds of friends, trails in the woods, camping and of course paintball and high ropes adventure courses!
Pray for the boys and their counselors, if you would. They’ll appreciate it as they enjoy their week of fun!

Fire Safety Saves Lives
March 2, 2009 by piversen · Leave a Comment
In the latest series of The Salvation Army Community Speakers, the Bloomington Fire Department came and spoke to the A.R.K. children about fire safety.
“Be Cool About Fire Safety”is a fun, educational video that can be found all over the internet. But the children at The Salvation Army were mesmerized by a real life fire man, who took the time to get to know them and answer their questions.
Fire Prevention Officer Scott Smith of the Bloomington Fire Department honored the children as Deputy Fire Marshals charging them with the responsibility of putting their knowledge about fire safety to good use at home and at The Salvation Army.
Studies show that when children learn about fire safety there are strong benefits. Nationwide it is reported that curious children set fires that are responsible for 150 deaths and $200 million in property damage; of those deaths 15-20% are children themselves.
A.R.K. is a weekly, open-door program for Bloomington children. It is fun-filled evening starting at 6:15 that blends games, visitors like Mr. Smith and Bible truths in character building exercises. It’s a unique program that is greatly beneficial to the youth attending. For more information contact, Lt. Catherine Fitzgerald here.
