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

May message from the Ministry Team

By
Dear friends One of the ‘deep wells’ that replenishes my spirituality is the practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ which is an ancient method for praying with the Bible. It literally means ‘divine reading’, or ‘reading in a godly kind of way’. We rush about so much these days and practising the discipline of a slower reading of the Bible to allow it to speak to us is an integral aspect of Lectio Divina. If you want to try it yourself, read slowly a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way. Then meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you. Then finally respond through prayer to the word you have heard, simply and directl...

After Lunch we enjoyed games. Believe it or not, Snakes & Ladders was popula...
