8/1/14 - Citing personal reasons, the commanding officers of The Salvation Army of Livingston County have announced their resignation. The Salvation Army accepted the resignation of Lieutenants Tim and Julie Perkins, effective today. The Perkins came to the local Corps in late June of 2013 from Brown County, Indiana. It was their first official appointment, although they had been involved with The Salvation Army for about five years at that time. They have two teenage children and extensive ministerial backgrounds. Tim Perkins said the decision was made in the best interest of their family and resulted from a lot of time spent in prayer and counsel. As to the replacement process, Chief Operations Director of Development John Hale tells WHMI the Perkins have served the community well and The Salvation Army wishes them good fortune in their future endeavors. Leaders from The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division will meet with the Livingston County Advisory Board next week to begin identifying a new officer to oversee the Livingston County Corps. In the meantime, he says an interim officer will be assigned as soon as possible to provide continued service to the community.(JM)
