Wonderful day at the Santa Clara Corps - “Youth Sunday” celebration!
All the troops were awarded their badges - things from “Drama” to “Bug Life” a total of 16 badges were earned among them.

** favorite part was the fact a family has joined the Corps since their child was invited to Troops, and has come every Sunday!

🎉 Children and young people across The Salvation Army are being invited to step into their identity as "children of light" for the International Day of Children and Young People 2026, events for which will span the weekend of April 24-26.

The theme, "In the Light," is rooted in Ephesians 5:8-14 which calls believers to "live as children of light." It encourages young people to recognize their identity as loved and chosen by God, and to reflect that light in their daily lives. 🙏

✨SAYNETWORK is hosting a virtual celebration tonight at 7pm PT. Join in through the link in our comments!
