This was a special visit by the members of the Cumbernauld Corps as this year The Salvation Army is celebrating its 150th anniversary.

As part of the celebrations the Cumbernauld members will be gathering on Sunday, July 26, when they will be holding a special tea party starting at 6pm to help mark the special anniversary.
