RECENT EVENTS
Retirement
We have recently
seen the retirement of Corps Treasurer, Doreen Terry.

Doreen has served as Treasurer at
Shipley for many, many years and feels it is finally time to step
down from such a demanding role. We take the opportunity to thank
Doreen for all her hard work over the years.
Harvest, MAD Day and CAP Sponsored Walk
Our autumn has been a busy
season.

We celebrated
Harvest with Majors Peter and Sylvia Dalziel, our MAD Day in October
saw us doing practical jobs for our local community and our younger
members (and some not so young) undertook a sponsored walk in aid of
Christians Against Poverty (CAP). Have a look in the Gallery for more pictures.
Church Retreat
Well, we've had another
great weekend at the scout campsite at Sconce on Baildon Moor. A
study into the feeding of the 5,000 really brought home the point
that with God, anything is possible. Photos from the weekend are now
posted in the Gallery for you to
see.
Easter Prayer Room
As a lead up to the Easter
weekend, our small hall was available 24/7 as a prayer room with
some very special focal points on the events leading up to Easter
Day. Our Gallery shows photos from
the weekend for you to see.
New Members
Shipley Salvation
Army is growing!

We are delighted to have enrolled five new Junior
Soldiers (our younger membership), three Adherents and a new Senior
Soldier. Our New Members page on our Gallery shows everyone at their
enrolments.
