Believe in Shipley

‘Believe in Shipley’ is a festival of Christian life celebrating what God is doing in the Shipley communities, letting people know that Jesus loves them and inviting people to learn more about the Christian faith. We are working across the Christian community to engage people with things to see, do and participate in. The festival has particular focus on 24 September to 2 October 2016 but very much builds upon what God is already doing in the area and has a momentum which will continue to build over the coming months.

Believe in Shipley will have several main events, but the encouragement is to the churches, individually and collectively to get involved. Main events will include an evening with the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu (26^th), Youth Event in Roberts Park (28^th), a Big Picnic (2^nd), ‘Live at Costa’ events and John Froud as the resident musician with friends at the Lloyds Bar in Shipley. As Methodist churches, we have Rev. Dr Martyn Atkins, Team Leader and Superintendent Minister at Methodist Central Hall leading an evening at Northcliffe on Friday 23^rd and Rev. Dr Roger Walton, Chair of The West Yorkshire District and, from July, President of the Methodist Conference, leading over the course of a day at Titus Salt School on Wednesday 28^th.

Prayer and participation are key. We have been praying for the festival for over a year and we encourage you to join us, through your own personal prayers and the opportunities there are to join with others. There are, and will be, lots of opportunities to get involved, to share the love of Jesus and to invite people.

You can keep up to date with all that is happening through the Believe in Shipley website believeinshipley.com

Share the joy of Christmas with older people

The most important Christmas Card you’ll send this year Methodist Homes (MHA) are asking YOUR CHURCH to share the joy of Christmas with older people this year. Could you take the time to write just one extra Christmas card which will be passed to an older person cared for by MHA? To take part, please refer to the further details and an order form . Instructions of how to take part, as well as special Christmas cards designed by an MHA resident for your church members to write their own messages of goodwill and friendship, are included in the Christmas Friendship Appeal pack. “May I express my gratitude for your lovely idea of asking folk (including children) to send Christmas cards. We appreciate the warmth and concern of the whole idea.” MHA Resident
