You've probably noticed we've been quiet on here this Christmas. It's not becauae we're anti social, it's because we've been working to improve our presence on Instagram and Linkedin.

As 2024 rolls in, we invite you to follow, join and support our movement by following us on Instagram @ tsalafayette and on Linked in @ The Salvation Army of Lafayette. We will also updating our Facebook Business Page (TSALafayette) starting in February.

But in the mean time, as you think about your Christmas Eve plans, you we want to make sure we invite you to Church tomorrow. We start with breakfast @ 9:30, followed by Sunday School and then worship @ 11. Questions? Concerns? Shoot us a Facebook message and we'll get back to you with 24 hours.

A note from Jason Grant Padgett

Farewell, friends! It's time for me to sign off as your visual tour guide for all the incredible work The Salvation Army does here in Lafayette, Indiana.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for the love and support you've shown throughout this journey. It's been an amazing experience sharing the stories, the passion, and the hope that this wonderful organization brings to our community.

But don't worry, this isn't a final farewell! I'll still be around, just in a different role. You'll find me volunteering and working diligently to help get our chapter off the ground.

Stay tuned for new adventures, new stories, and new ways to make a positive impact in our beautiful community. Together, we can continue to spread hope and change lives.

Thank you once again for being part of this incredible journey. Until we meet again!

Wellbeing Wednesday

Hello, everyone! It's that time of the week again when we take a moment to prioritize our mental, physical, and spiritual health. 💆‍♀️🙏

Today, let's focus on one act of self-care that brings you joy and strengthens your connection with God. It could be a quiet moment of prayer, reading a spiritual text, or simply reflecting on the blessings in your life. Remember, nurturing your own well-being and faith is essential for being your best self and, in turn, helping others.

Take a deep breath, exhale stress, and embrace the tranquility of the moment. Your well-being and your faith matter, and you deserve both!

Share your favorite spiritual practices or verses that bring you peace in the comments below. Let's inspire each other to make today a Wellbeing Wednesday that deepens our connection with God and enriches our souls.
