Tribe at Timaru

Congratulations to MATTHEW FERGUSON and SCOTT GLENDINNING of Timaru Corps who have recently graduated from the Tribe (formerly Corps Cadets) Discipleship Course! May what you have learnt over the recent years keep you in good step for following Jesus in the years ahead.

Also, we wish to acknowledge JANE and GREG FERGUSON, also of Timaru Corps, who have faithfully led Tribe for (get this!) TWELVE years! They are stepping down from this ministry in the new year. Thank you for your years of service in Youth ministry at Timaru. You are both greatly appreciated.
