Unique Ensembles Come to Bloomington
November 5, 2009 by cgrau · Leave a Comment
Bloomington will be getting a special treat this fall. Around 40 college students who are part of a traditional Salvation Army brass band or vocal ensemble will be visiting Bloomington November 13-15, 2009. Hosted by The Salvation Army of Monroe County, this group will be sharing with the community in several ways including nursing home visitation, neighborhood outreach, a community concert, and leading worship on Sunday morning.
The band and vocal ensemble is comprised of college students from Asbury Collegein Wilmore, Kentucky. Many have grown up in The Salvation Army church and participate in these music groups as a way of sharing the musical talent God has given them. Bloomington Corps officers, Jonathan and Catherine Fitzgerald, are alumni of this group and know personally how their ministry shares God’s love in a special way.
The band will be performing at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church on Saturday, November 14th, at 7:00 PM. The concert is completely free. You will not want to miss this rare and special treat!
Come Join Our Army! Mazulu did.

The Bloomington Corps has one more soldier in its ranks. Mazulu Ntshangase took that important step Sunday in a ceremony celebrating his enrollment in The Salvation Army.
Mazulu’s story is one of many young people deciding to take that step for Christ. Having accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord, and desiring to fulfil their membership of His Church on earth as a soldier of The Salvation Army, they, by God’s grace, enter into a sacred covenant. Mazulu and others sign that Soldiers Covenant which you can read here.
A soldier is an integral part of the health of a local Salvation Army. Soldiers serve in leadership roles in the Church such as Sunday School teachers, womens ministry sargeants, young people’s secretary and leadership boards. To date there are nearly half a million soldiers in the United States.
To find out more about The Salvation Army Church, please visit us Sunday at 11:00 am or visit our website.
Nature’s Way Makes This Yard Beautiful
Nature’s Way has helped make The Salvation Army a much more attractive place to walk into and certainly to drive past.
The next time you and yours are at the corner of Rogers and Kirkwood in Bloomington, stop to notice the stonework and plantings above. Where there was once grass, there is now color, texture and beauty.
The Salvation Army’s Women’s Auxiliary helped to make this project happen, and their interest in the aesthetics of the buildings on the corner of Rogers and Kirkwood has made a significant difference!
It’s exciting to feel the energy of downtown Bloomington: the B-line trailhas opened, the Tuesday farmers market is in full swing, there are more and more people walking to their destinations and road crews are busy making the streets better places to drive. And now, The Salvation Army has but a small part to play in this buzzing activity. It’s corner on the outskirts of downtown is getting better too.
