New Flag at Portsmouth Citadel

In recent weeks a colourful new flag has taken its place on the Portsmouth Citadel platform. Nestled amongst the corps flags that have stood proudly for many years is a bright new addition - the Kenyan flag. Initially purchased by the Young People's corps to mark the special Kenyan Sunday held during 2010 a specially made flag pole has been constructed to enable the flag to stand with the others. Alan Johnston made the flag pole and used his woodworking skills to carefully add a carved 'S' to match the other flags. On Sunday 19th January 2011 the new addition was dedicated and publicly recognised. YPSM Collette Boughton and Marilyn Leggett symbolically presented the flag to CSM Mark Wheeler. It was my privilege to offer a prayer of dedication. The new flag is a permanent reminder of Potsmouth Citadel's partnership and challenges us to pray and work to keep the partnership active and alive.

The new flag not only adds colour and vibrancy to our platform but stands as a constant reminder of our friends in Kyamutwoi.
