The day started with a banquet at the Training School for specially invitated guests from abroad. The Training School Principal made the food and the cadets were serving at the tables.
During the banquet a drama was presented showing the history of the Salvation Army in Latvia from 1923 to 2010.
Some of the special guests gathering after the meetings
On the afterneen two meetings were held. The Hall was packed. Even the cafeteria outside the Hall was packed and the people sitting there could follow the meeting on a wide screen. Between the meetings soup was served from on old-fashioned soup-kitchen. It was a non-stop celebration between 14.00 and 19.00.
The second meeting ended with cakes and coffe. Twenty people were marching in with twenty cakes with fireworks. The cakes represented the twenty years of minitry in Latvia. Every cake was carried by a person who became a soldier the year his/her cake represented. It was a great ending of a great day.
