10.00 am - 4.00 pm Saturday 25 February 2012
Shipley Baptist Church
New Kirkgate, Shipley, D18 3QY

You are invited to join us in celebrating our 18th birthday.  To mark the occasion we are holding a Celebration Day.  The Day gives us a chance to meet with our supporters and other interested parties, showcasing the work that we do, and giving our supporters the opportunity to join us for a short commissioning service to send us out for our 19th year.

We have designed the programme for the day to give you an opportunity to get a taste of as much of our work as possible, and experience a little bit of what the children in our schools experience.  You are welcome to drop in to the bits that interest you, or join us for the whole day.

Admission
The day is free and you don't need a ticket.  Drop in for half an hour or stay all day.  We'll be delighted to see you however long you can spend with us.  The formal bit - the commissioning - will take place at the end of the day as part of the praise party (so not so formal), and we would be especially glad to see you then.

Children
We would be delighted for you to bring children with you - it wouldn't be Zephaniah if they weren't welcome.  If they get a bit bored with all the 'up-front' stuff then they can have a go at painting a plant pot.  We'll certainly need them to jump up and down and join in with the actions at the Praise Party.  We'll make sure there is a quieter space, with toys, for those with really little ones.

Refreshments
Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available all day, so you can relax with some cake or nibble a sandwich while listening to John's concert set.  A donation towards the cost of these would be appreciated.  Alternatively you can take advantage of one of the fine eating establishments around Shipley.

Parking and Travelling
If coming by car during the morning we would advise using the public car park across the road from the rear of the church, as the church car park is rented out until lunchtime.  During the afternoon the Church car park is available.  For those using satnav, the postcode is BD18 3QY.  If coming by train then Shipley Station is about a 5 minute walk away.  If travelling by bus, a large number of buses stop at Shipley Market Place, just across the raod from the Church.

Further information
If you need any more information please contact Jenny in the Zephaniah Office on 01274 533732 or office@zephaniah.org.uk

Service Sheet (pdf) Welcome to worship wherever you are in the Circuit, come and join i n with the people of Allerton as we gather to worship God together. In a pretty setting opposite Ladywood Park, overlooking green space and its own graveyard, the congregation gathers from the surrounding area, a mix of faces, cultures and traditions, coming together to worship God. Call to worship: Come and worship the Lord: Cry, Holy, holy, holy! Come and praise the name of our God: The whole earth is full of his glory! Song We begin with HP 9/StF 55 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, praising God in his glory. Prayers We worship you, God of all: high above us, your glory more than we could bear to see. You have formed and shaped our world; and we look up and see the grandeur of the mountains, the power of the seas, the distant stars, the long-lived trees, and we marvel. Yet your love is also poured out upon the lowliest of creatures, insects that live but a day, sea creatures never seen by hum...
