When Officers Move

In this episode, we take a bird’s eye view of officer moves within the Southern Territory—how the process works and how we, as church members and leaders, can support officers and their families, especially children, during this season of change. Lt. Colonel Janice Riefer, Territorial Secretary for Personnel, shares her expert insights, and Jon Avery, Social Media Manager, joins the conversation with personal reflections and a look at a recent social media post about this topic that gained a lot of positive feedback.
