Providing a 'Pit Stop' at Clarence Park
 On Sunday 19th July 2009 we did not hold the normal Sunday Evening Service, but instead opened the church for an evening of service to those in need.
The occasion was the Annual T4 Pop concert on the Sea front when about 25,000 young people congregated to listen to a programme of Pop Music. Since our church is located between the concert venue and the railway station, at the end of the event many of the concert goers come streaming past the church on their way home.

Holiday at Home
 By Robbie Starling at Counterslip Baptist Church, Bristol
At the time the fellowship was being asked to look at ways of making an effect on the Community, our Home group were keen to embark upon setting up a "Holiday at Home" for the over 60's, both in and outside the church fellowship. Our first time proved very successful and has since been repeated together with other events being held at Easter and Christmas.

Solar Power Story
 Ray Hart, Counterslip Baptist Church, Bristol
Many churches, groups, and individuals are now becoming interested in using solar power to cut energy bills and do their bit for the environment. Ray Hart, a deacon at Counterslip Baptist Church, was thinking, experimenting, and innovating with solar power several years ago, when many of us in the church still had a tendency to sideline 'green' issues. Here's a taste of his story and some opportunities to access training and equipment.
