Together at Shuttleworth 2010

Is this Bank Holiday weekend! Shuttleworth has been spoken about at church for a while now but I thought I would post some more information if you were still undecided as it is stil possible to book or is possible to go down for the day. All the practicalities can be found on the Together at Shuttleworth website (link at the bottom of this post) so instead here is some information that might tempt you into going if you were not yet sure or at a loose end on a Bank Holiday weekend.

There are already a lot of people from Oasis signed up and booked in for camping for the weekend but other information you might be interested in is that this year it is hosted by Tony Thompson, David Rigby, David Coak, Martin Tibbert and Peter Vincent, runs from Friday 27th to Monday 30th August and the main speakers will be David Stroud, Martin Tibbert and Simon Holley and Rhys Scott will be leading the worship in the main sessions.

Or as the Shuttleworth website writes, “In 2009 over 1,800 people from over 40 Churches enjoyed our regional weekend at Shuttleworth. You are invited to our 2010 event, to be held once again at the wonderful Shuttleworth College in the heart of the Bedfordshire countryside, for a weekend of inspiring teaching, enthusiastic worship and superb youth and children’s work. Camping provides a wonderful opportunity to get to know others in your church family better!”

Also, what I also thought might be an encouraging aspect for Oasis Church specifically was what Adrian wrote after last year’s event, “A group of us from Oasis went along to Together at Shuttleworth, a camp run by a group of newfrontiers churches. We had a great time camping and hanging out together and particularly as a group eating and hanging out with the Crown Church in North Birmingham (they cooked for all of us, which was amazing). The news I however wanted all of us to hear was a prophetic word David Devenish shared on the Sunday evening about Oasis.
David stated that he saw a picture of Oasis church as a tradional church building in Birmingham, however the spire of the church building was exceptionally big and was out of proportion to the size of the rest of building. David went on to share that what he believed the picture was revealing was that though Oasis would continue to grow as a church that as a church the influence that we have in the city of Birmingham would be way beyond what our size would reveal, that the scale of influence we will have will be out of proportion to our size.”

Hope this was helpful and any questions then email the Oasis Church office on admin@theoasischurch.com and I will try to reply in time.

The Oasis Orange Thursday’s (TOOT)…

…this is a quick reminder that tomorrow is the official launch of of ‘Oasis Orange Thursday’ where we get to don on our Orange T-shirts!

So don’t forget your t-shirt!

But Why?

Visibility…gives an opportunity for us as individuals to be a little more visible than usual about our faith, and also allows us make Oasis a bit more visible.

Fun…is a key reason behind OOT that knowing God and revealing Him is meant to be fun. Also what we are asking is for people to send in a photo to reveal the best or most extreme or most unlikely place they have worn theiur T-shirt. Send photo’s to admin@theoasischurch.com. We will then from time to time post the photo’s on the website.

Together…we get to do something during our weeks in the different places we find ourselves in. Reminds us we are not alone but part a community as we live out our faith.

If you want to buy a t-shirt contact the office at above email address or on 0121 6280001 to purchase one fro £3
