‘The Bible records how God reassured people who were going through tough times: “As a mother comforts her son, so I will comfort you” (Isaiah 66:13 Christian Standard Bible).

Whether today brings celebration, sadness or something in between, we can all draw on a steady source of love.

If we choose to follow God, we can know that he will celebrate with us in joyful times, comfort us in grief and be there for us in every other situation every day.’

Reflection by Ewan Hall, one of the writers for our weekly War Cry magazine.

🌿 Year of Prayer for Children and Young People – 2026 🌿
You may know that in 2026, we are inviting our corps, families, and communities to journey together through a Year of Prayer for Children and Young People.
Each month will focus on a simple, biblical theme. There will be:
✨ a short reflection, bible verse, prayer and wondering questions
✨ a 5–10 minute, family‑friendly prayer section for corps services
This is about creating a shared rhythm of prayer at home, in worship, and across our division, asking God to move in the lives of children and young people and helping us all to listen, notice, and respond.
Each month we will share resources to support this journey. This post includes February’s reflection, along with a photo of Bedford Salvation Army's prayer chains from yesterday’s meeting, where they shared together in this month’s prayer focus.
🙏

🌱 Growing Leaders Weekend🌱
Over the weekend we had the privilege of hosting the first Growing Leaders weekend at Basingstoke Corps, and it was a truly encouraging and affirming time. There was a strong sense of God’s leading for both the delegates and the leaders as we began this journey together.
We are delighted to have 7 young adults aged 18–25 from across the division taking part in Growing Leaders this year.
Over the weekend we explored four sessions of the Firm Foundations for Christian Leadership.

✨It has been a brilliant start to the Growing Leaders journey, and we’re excited to see how God continues to work in and through everyone involved.
🙏Please hold the delegates in your prayers as they learn, develop, and seek God’s guidance for their lives and leadership. We also ask for prayer for the leaders and mentors who will journey alongside them throughout the course.
