Dear Friends:

Welcome to Camp Ladore and our annual Family Camp Meetings! This gathering is a highlight of the division’s spiritual life and a wonderful time of fellowship in the Pendel family of God. We are blessed to have joined this family in July and are looking forward to meeting you this weekend and getting to visit you at your corps in the months to come.

We are a family and you belong to this family …by place, because you live in this region of the great Eastern Territory and attend a corps in the division… and by grace, because you are a child of God having been born anew by His Spirit. Together, we are growing to be more like our heavenly Father every day and to re�ect His holiness to our community. This weekend gives us an opportunity to celebrate our kinship and deepen our commitment to loving God and loving others.

Our thanks to those who have planned and prepared for this event, to all who will participate in our worship, to our guests who have come to challenge us in our faith and to you, for your fellowship!

To God be the glory!

Lt. Colonels Janet & Stephen Ban�eldDivisional Leaders

Major Teresita Pacheco

Special Guests Special Guests

Prior to entering The Salvation Army School for O�cer Training (seminary), Bill worked as a pharmacist and Lorraine as a French and Spanish teacher. They were commissioned and ordained as Salvation Army o�cers in 1989.

Within the Army, Colonels Bamford have served in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cleveland, and the South America West Territory holding various appointments in those areas.

The Bamfords are blessed with three children. Their older daughter (Michelle) and her husband live in New York, where she works for The Salvation Army. Their middle child (Nicole) works as a school counselor in Lexington, Kentucky, where she resides with her husband and the Bamfords’ two grandchildren. They have a son (Bill IV) who is a CPA and works for the Army in Washington, DC, where he resides with his wife.

My name is Teresita Pacheco. I was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. I have two grown children. Levid Ortíz is 34 years old and Melanie Ortíz is 32 years old. Before entering the Training School I worked at DHQ in Puerto Rico as a Social Services Coordinator for 17 years. During that time I received my lifetime call to work for the Lord. In 1990 during a Congress in Puerto Rico, God ful�lled my desire to work for Him and to serve a su�ering humanity. I went to the School for O�cers’ Training in 1992 and was commissioned to the School. After spending 11 years there, I received marching orders to Rhode Island. I was stationed in Rhode Island for three years. Marching orders then directed me to Guayama, PR, followed by the International Social Justice o�ce in New York and last year to Ponce. God has been faithful to me. My favorite verse is found in Psalm 37:5, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this”.

The Pendel Brass & Singers

Joe & Jennifer BassettWorship leaders, songwriters, conference speakers, ministry builders, and Kingdom thinkers. Their worship is anointed, their hearts are humbled and their calling is focused. Whether leading God's people around the world to worship in spirit and truth, or training up a new generation of worshippers, Joe and Jennifer passionately chase God's heart, staying on the leading edge to edify, encourage and equip His servants to not just serve, but to �ourish in the House of God.

Each year, the Pendel Brass and Singers perform at two annual concerts within the PENDEL Division. At least once a year, the group travels within the Salvation Army’s Eastern Territory to collaborate with other corps, churches, and ministry groups in musical worship and outreach. The group has shared its ministry on music and mission tours to USA South and West, Canada, South America, Scandinavia, Jamaica, the Virgin Islands and South Africa.CE

LEBRATING

1 964-2014The Pendel Brass and Singers of The Salvation Army are a group

of musicians from Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware (PENDEL). This select group includes nurses, bank employees, ministers, secretaries, music teachers, as well as high school

and college students. In addition to voluntarily o�ering time and musical talents in bi-monthly rehearsals and concerts,

members devote themselves to weekly rehearsals and services at their local corps (church) homes.

The group is led by Dr. Harold Burgmayer, Divisional Music Director for the PENDEL Division of the Salvation Army for over 30 years. Since its establishment in 1964, the mission of the Pendel Brass and Singers has been to communicate the love of God and share the gospel of Jesus Christ through music ministry, fellowship, and service.

The band plays a wide and varied repertoire of stirring marches, sensitive hymn tune settings, classical transcriptions, featured soloists, and more developed festival arrangements. The Singers perform arrangements of familiar hymn and gospel songs, as well as more recent Christian vocal literature.

For over thirty years Bob Stromberg has been delighting audiences of all ages with his perfect blend of standup, story and shtick. Always clean, his presentation is a disarming healthy blend of knee-slapping comedy and wholesome encouragement. Bob's facilitates surprising laughter with an arsenal of gifts including physical comedy, a non-threatening touch of audience participation and yes...even hand shadows, which the London Metro described as "stunning". Add to this hilarious and tender stories from his own experience and audiences leave amazed, refreshed and di�erent than when they came. He has been a featured and favorite emcee for many large stadium and arena gatherings. He has written Finding the Magni�cent in Lower Mundane, the award winning, beautifully illustrated family story

The Miracle at Stinky Bay and the best selling Why Geese Fly Farther Than Eagles. He is known by many for his appearances on the awarding winning TV comedy Bananas. Perhaps most notably, he coauthored and starred in the megahit theatrical production Triple Espresso, ( A Highly Ca�einated Comedy). From it's start in Minneapolis, Triple Espresso, described by the Los Angeles Times as "...a triple jolt of inspired craziness" grew to ten casts, has been seen by nearly two million people in dozens of cities from Seattle to The West End of London and become the longest running stage production in the history of San Diego, Minneapolis and the entire state of Iowa. In his role, the Chicago Sun Times described Bob as "...a mesmerizing physical comedian."

Guest Preformers

Jesus TheatreGuest Comedian

Bob StrombergPresenting: HatsDirector: Stephany Suarez, Written by: Katie LuseThe Jesus Theatre is a Creative Arts presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ and was performed all summer long for campers all across the Territory. Over 700 campers at Camp Ladore accepted Jesus largely in part due to this ministry. The theme this year was Hats. Each hat represents a life. An identity. A future. A choice. We can choose to love God and follow Jesus or go our own way under the in�uence of the enemy.

This is your life. This is your choice.

New Day Drop in Center (NDDC):Money collected bene�ts The Salvation Army

The New Day Drop in Center (NDDC) is the centerpiece of The Salvation Army’s e�ort to address human tra�cking in Philadelphia. NDDC seeks to be salt and light in the community displaying the love of Christ for his people and for those who are marginalized in society.

Human tra�cking is the fastest growing business of organized crime, second only to drug dealing in size, and the third-largest criminal enterprise in the world. Each year, 14,500 to 17,500 individuals are tra�cked into the U.S. from other countries; 80% are women and 50% are minors.

Event Information Event Information

Medical Assistance: Should you need medical assistance during your stay here this weekend you may contact Major Brent Carlson at (215)219-3359 or Major Bonnie Snyder at (215)432-6549.

Prayer Wall: A prayer wall has been created to surround the back walls of the PARC meeting room. Our desire for this prayer wall is that it will become a sacred space to share prayer concerns, praises, and prayers to God. When we ask Christ into our lives we become a part of the Body of Christ, a community of believers. May these walls re�ect Christ’s love through our prayer o�erings to Him. To symbolize this community we would like to have everyone’s photo placed on the walls. Please see our photo takers in the lobby of the PARC to have your picture taken. You may then place that on the prayer wall. Write your name and Corps under your photo and, as you feel comfortable in sharing, add a prayer request near your picture so that others can lift you in prayer. Note cards will also be supplied near the prayer wall so that if you would like to encourage someone feel free to jot them a short note or share an encouraging Scripture passage with them and place in the basket for our helpers to deliver them.

Please treat this area respectfully as others may stand and pray as they read the wall and pray for those who they see pictured. Please approach the prayer wall at any time during the weekend to lift our Pendel Family in prayer.

Prayer Walk: The beauty at Camp Ladore brings us right into God’s presence as we are surrounded by His Creation. Two prayer walks are provided for you this weekend. One prayer walk begins in front of the Lodge. (Although you may start at any of the points listed). The other prayer walk is designed for our youth and begins on the PARC side. This would even work to use together as a family. These prayer walks will be available on the tables by the prayer walls.

“I Belong” Wrist bands: A wrist band has been supplied for each delegate. Please wear this throughout the weekend. The 5 di�erent colors represent: Red – 1st seating at meals Blue – 2nd seating at meals (1/2 hour after meal time starts) Red/Blue – Meals and Children’s Meeting ID Yellow – Express Meals/Snacks for sta� White – Commuters

Children must wear wristbands to the children’s meetings for check-in.

THE DOCTRINES OF THE SALVATION ARMY

1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice.

2. We believe that there is only one God, who is in�nitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship.

3. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead – the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory.

4. We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man.

5. We believe that our �rst parents were created in a state of innocency, but by their disobedience they lost their purity and happiness, and that in consequence of their fall all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God.

6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has by His su�ering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved.

7. We believe that repentance towards God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, are necessary to salvation.

8. We believe that we are justi�ed by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself.

9. We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.

10. We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sancti�ed, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

11. We believe in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked.

LAS DOCTRINAS DEL EJÉRCITO DE SALVACIÓN

1. Creemos que las Escrituras del Antiguo y del Nuevo Testamento fueron dadas por inspiración de Dios, y que sólo ellas constituyen la regla divina de fe y práctica cristiana.

2. Creemos que hay un solo Dios, que es in�nitamente perfecto, Creador, Preservador y Gobernador de todas las cosas, y que es a Él solo a quien se debe rendir culto religioso.

3. Creemos que la Deidad se constituye de tres personas; el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo, indivisas en esencia e iguales en poder y gloria.

4. Creemos que en la persona de Jesucristo se unen las naturalezas divina y humana, de manera que Él es verdadera y esencialmente Dios, y verdadera y esencialmente hombre.

5. Creemos que nuestros primeros padres fueron creados en estado de inocencia, mas por haber desobedecido perdieron su pureza y felicidad; y que por efecto de su caída, todos los hombres son pecadores, totalmente corruptos y como tales están justamente expuestos a la ira de Dios.

6. Creemos que el Señor Jesucristo, por sus padecimientos y muerte, hizo la propiciación por el mundo entero, de manera que el que quiera pueda ser salvo.

7. Creemos que el arrepentimiento para con Dios, la fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo y la regeneración por el Espíritu Santo son necesarios para la salvación.

8. Creemos que somos justi�cados por gracia, mediante la fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo y que el que cree tiene el testimonio de ello en sí mismo.

9. Creemos que continuar en estado de salvación depende del ejercicio constante de la fe y la obediencia a Cristo.

10. Creemos que es privilegio de todos los creyentes ser santi�cados por completo, y que todo su ser espíritu, alma y cuerpo puede ser guardado irreprensible para la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

11. Creemos en la inmortalidad del alma, en la resurrección del cuerpo, en el juicio �nal; en la eterna felicidad de los justos y el castigo perpetuo de los injustos.
