2012 the Year of Freedom: for all, from all...

People finding freedom...

Welcome to the website for The Salvation Army Ryde City Macquarie Park Campus and No.47 Community Home.

No.47 Community Home is a centre run out of Mac Park Salvos, which exists to serve the residents in the City of Ryde. We run a variety of programs for kids and adults including Study Shed and Cafe 47.

Centre managers Craig & Danni don't just work at the community home - they live there as well. So if you're a resident of the Macquarie Park area and find yourself needing a hand then please don't hesitate to get in touch. A list of community programs can be found on the Community Activities page, but if you have a unique need then we might still be able to help. We'd love to hear from you!

Short story Competition’s winners

Thank you budding writers, from all over Australia, who made a submission to our Warcry Writers Competition for 2011.

Some two dozen worthy entries were received, and a team of judges set out to grade each story. Unique qualities emerged in most offerings, and our judges made a few difficult decisions—but we emerged with three winners, featured on these pages.

The criteria for this short story contest were simple. The competition was open-aged and each entrant could submit only one story. The story must be fictional, and run about 500-550 words. While there was no set theme, we asked that at least a mention of The Salvation Army in some form be included.

So successful, we feel, this competition was—we will consider conducting a similar contest toward the end of 2012. Therefore keep your creative juices flowing.

As a wise editor I knew always encouraged his aspiring writers, 'Write On!' Read more
