Capt. Rob’s Additional Appointment Arrangements
Capt. Rob will be spending 1.5 days per week on his additional appointment as Divisional Personnel Officer from 1 August. This will be Mondays all day (when he plans to be in DHQ at High Wycombe) and Friday afternoons (at the Quarters). He will still be available for emergencies (and can move those days around if needs be) and will continue to be available on the phone, email and by WhatsApp/texts, but during that time may be slower to respond to corps matters, or if routine, might leave until the next (working) day. Thank you in anticipation of your support over the next 12 months as he juggles these two appointments as best he can.

Captain’s Log
This week, we reflect on the importance of Sabbath rest. In today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel overworked, overtired, and overwhelmed, often neglecting our spiritual well-being in the pursuit of daily tasks. The Bible reminds us that Sabbath rest is a divine gift, designed to renew our souls and keep us connected with God.
As we look at Exodus 20:8-11 together, we learn the significance of setting aside one day each week to cease from our usual activities and focus on worship, rest, and spiritual rejuvenation. This commandment is not merely about following rules but about embracing a rhythm of life that God himself modelled. Just as God rested on the seventh day after creation, we too are called to rest and recharge.
Taking time for Sabbath rest allows us to step back from our routines, rediscover God’s goodness, and engage deeply in our spiritual practices. It’s a time to worship, pray, and reconnect with our Creator, ensuring that our relationship with him remains vibrant and central in our lives.
By prioritising Sabbath rest, we break the “vicious cycle” of busyness that leads to spiritual depletion. Instead, we adopt a sustainable approach to life that honours God’s gift of rest and nurtures our spiritual health.
Putting it into practice
1. Remembering the Sabbath: Engage in worship and rest, focusing on God’s presence and goodness.
2. Planning Ahead: Organise your week to ensure that you can fully embrace the Sabbath without the distraction of unfinished tasks.
3. Encouraging One Another: Support and remind each other of the importance of taking this sacred time for rest and renewal.
Battle Drill Daily Devotional Podcast This Week:
This week on the Battle Drill Daily Devotional Podcast, we learn how to embrace the gift of rest as a vital part of our spiritual journey. Each day we share hope and encouragement as we read and study the Bible together.

Territorial Prayer Network - Points for prayer from Prayer Matters.
SUNDAY 21 July – SABBATH PRAYER
We pray today for corps who will welcome new officers this week. We pray for a sense of joy and anticipation at the arrival of new leaders, and for a quick forging of friendships. We pray too that there will be a sense of shared vision as they discern the way ahead, and a sense of expectancy for all that God will do.
(Lyndall Bywater, UKI Boiler Room Team)
MONDAY 22 July – SHARING THE GOOD NEWS
Paris Olympics, 26 July to 11 August
As the Olympic Games get under way later this week, we pray:
- for the city of Paris, that it will be a joyful, harmonious place throughout the Games.
- for Salvationists competing in the various Olympic events, that they will know God’s peace and share God’s love.
- for The Salvation Army in France, that the Games will open a door for all kinds of witness and service.
- for corps and centres around the world running Olympic-themed outreach events, that many will discover the reality of God’s love for them beyond the fun of the event itself.
(Lyndall Bywater, UKI Boiler Room Team)
TUESDAY 23 JULY – SERVING AND CARING
Salvation Army Youth Summer Camps
Pray for the various summer camps which will happen around the territory over the coming weeks, offering children and young people opportunities to spend time together, be creative, learn about Jesus and enjoy all kinds of activities. Pray that these will be real high points of the year for all who attend. Pray that friendships will be forged and that young people will have the courage to enter wholeheartedly into worship and prayer. May they meet with the living God in ways that change their lives.
(Lyndall Bywater, UKI Boiler Room Team).
WEDNESDAY 24 July – GROWING IN FAITH
West Midlands Division
As the division faces the reality of not having enough officers for every corps, pray that many will hear the call to step into leadership in whatever way is God’s will for them. Pray for a quickening of those who are responding to the challenge of full-time ministry within the division, and pray for a continuing development of thinking around local leadership and the roles everyone has within the Church as the Body of Christ.
(Major Brian Slinn, former Divisional Commander – West Midlands Division)
THURSDAY 25 July – INTERNATIONAL SALVATION ARMY
Japan Territory
We pray for the Japan Territory today, asking God’s blessing on its corps and its social work. We pray for provision and protection for its various social centres caring for those in need, and we pray for joy and boldness as its corps gather for worship. We pray too for Territorial Leaders Colonels Stephen and Wendy Morris, asking God’s blessing on their leadership.
(Lyndall Bywater, UKI Boiler Room Team)
FRIDAY 26 July – JUSTICE AND RECONCILIATION
Public Affairs Team
Pray for the Public Affairs Team as they support and resource Salvationists to become effective advocates for those who require justice in their lives and communities. As they engage directly with government on justice concerns, pray that they will build helpful relationships with politicians and Members of Parliament, particularly those who were elected for the first time at the recent General Election.
(Major Nick Coke, Territorial Co-ordinator for Justice and Reconciliation)
SATURDAY 27 July – CARE FOR CREATION
Keeping Space Tidy
As we mark the 55th anniversary of the first Moon landing, we pray for the future of space exploration.
Ultimately the Bible’s call to care for the Earth reflects God’s character and invites humans to participate in sustaining and renewing the world. This stewardship involves adopting ecological practices such as reducing waste, conserving resources and protecting endangered species. By engaging in these activities, believers honour the Creator and fulfil the biblical mandate to ‘serve and preserve’ the environment, reflecting a commitment to the ongoing work of creation care.
Loving God, we pray for the key decision-makers and investors in space exploration, that they will take seriously the human responsibility to ‘serve and preserve’ the universe you have given us as our home. Guide them as they work out how to act responsibly in space, particularly dealing with the vast quantities of ‘space junk’ which has accumulated over the past six decades. We pray too that they will use their wealth and influence to help improve the lives of the poorest here on Earth.
(Major John Ager, Officer in Retirement; Lyndall Bywater, UKI Boiler Room Team)
Boiler Room – Powerhouse.
You are welcome to join us for our Boiler Room Prayer Meeting every Friday between 9:30am-10:00am in-person in the Prayer Room. I will be providing subjects each week for us to pray for, based on our mission and ministry and what is going on around us.
There is a Prayer Requests box on Reception (along with Prayer Request notepads) for use by corps members and hopefully, others who come into the Hall. We will pray those requests on a Friday morning too (unless they are marked Confidential for the CO only). Please do take advantage of this when it becomes available. We need to pray for each other! (as I know many of us do).
Do you have a prayer request? Please email us, use the prayer request box on our reception desk in The Hub, or speak to a member of the leadership team.
