140th Anniversary Weekend

This year we are celebrating the Salvation Army’s presence in Ipswich for the last 140 years!

One of the highlights of our 140th anniversary celebrations will be our Anniversary Weekend on 2nd and 3rd November.

We’ve got a great weekend planned. On Saturday 2nd, we’ll have a Big Breakfast and ‘140 years of Ipswich Citadel’ exhibition from 9:00 to 11:30am, followed by a Bonfire Social Evening at 7:00pm.

On Sunday 3rd, our morning meeting will be led by Major Howard Russell, our Divisional Commander, at 10:30am. In the evening, we will be joined by other churches for a united service at 6:30pm.

Everyone is most welcome!
