Hazel, the recruiting Sergeant

My name is Hazel and I am the recruiting Sergeant, which means I look after the spiritual needs of the corps.

If someone wanted to become a Salvationist, I would help them find about the Salvation Army and what they believe. They would read a book during the week called God's Soldier, and then we would talk about what they have read in special classes.

 
 

After they have had the classes, they would then read the Articles of War, which are promises made by a Salvationist, and sign a certificate. Sylvia, the Sunday School teacher, would help children to become a Junior Soldier.

There are differences between being a Salvationist, and a member of other churches. For example, we don't have communion, and we don't drink.

During the week I am in charge of the Salvation Army homeless hostel, called Lyndon House. We help people who come in to find new houses to live in. I believe God can change everyone's lives, even those who come into the hostel and have drug and alcohol problems. God loves them as much as those who come to the church. I put into action what I believe. As the Salvation Army says...

'Heart to God and hand to man.'
