Celebrate a Birthday With Us!
Aug 19th
We’re celebrating one year of recovery ministries at The Salvation Army Kroc Center, and we’d like you to join us for the big party! Details below the graphic:
The fun begins at 6:00 p.m. with a cookout in the Education Building Courtyard. Pick up a burger, some chips, soda – even a salad or a fruit cup. It’s about a buck a thing, which makes for some cheap family eats.
At 7:00, we move the party east a few hundred feet to the Kroc Center Pool Deck. It’s free to attend, and we’ll have open swim throughout the event. Hit the high dive boards, take some underwater photos and video, or just relax poolside and enjoy the music.
We’ll celebrate with a great big cake from San Diego Desserts, commemorate one year of success with the presentation of a plaque by Captain John Van Cleef, and simply enjoy the evening with trusted friends and companions along the road to recovery.
No RSVP is necessary, but if you have questions, just send ‘em to recovery@thekroc.org.

Musical Guest: David Harsh
Mar 24th
On Sunday, March 28, 2010 Special Musical Guest David Harsh will share his unique music ministry with our church.
David will introduce two new songs into our congregational repertoire: In His Hands and All The Earth Will Sing Your Praises. He will also share a unique, insightful original composition entitled “The Little Things,” exploring the tremendous impact our casual words and actions have on others around us.
David is a long-time friend of the Kroc Center. He is truly a one-man band, using modern technology to create and layer sound loops in real-time, playing and singing multiple parts without pre-recording anything!
Bring a friend! This Sunday’s worship service is planned with first-time guests in mind!
David’s Sunday morning ministry is mostly congregational, but his Monday evening ministry is mostly uplifting concert performance, with some interaction. Plan for both – have a great weekend with David Harsh!
