SCBA 2024 Golf Tournament
Monday 3rd June 2024

Christchurch Golf Club, Dorset

SCBA Golf Tournament 2023

2024 marks the nineteenth occasion that churches will have completed for the Frank Boyd shield. The Christchurch Golf Club Course is suitable for the whole range of golfers from Hackers to Scratchers where the aim is to finish second so as not to be responsible for arranging the 20th tournament!

Each participating church is invited to submit a team of four players (playing as two pairs). You are welcome to invite and bring non-church members to make up your team of four. We are well aware of how difficult it can be for smaller churches to find four golfers so as in the past we will accept one team of two players (one pair instead of two), and there will be a separate prize for the winning pair.

The day includes coffee and bacon roll on arrival at 10.30am, 18 holes of golf (in groups of four), prizes and a two-course meal at 5pm. The cost is £45 per person. The first tee time will be 11.30pm.

Please contact George Callan at: george.callan@christchurchbaptist.org.uk for more information and a booking form. 

It would be helpful if churches hoping to take part could let George know as soon as possible so he can have some idea of the possible numbers.

Fresh Streams Theology School - Ecclesiology Re-Imagined
19th - 20th June

Fresh Stream Re-Imagined

Fresh Streams is holding its Summer Theology School over 2 days on 19th and 20th June in Stafford at Rising Brook Community Church.

Why do our churches operate and organise themselves as they do? This discussion of what the church is called to be - including its purpose, structures and practices - is called ecclesiology.

In recent times our ecclesiology has come under the microscope like never before. At the 2024 Fresh Stream Theology School, some of our best theologians and practitioners will lead you to take a detailed look: what does the Bible say and history teach us? Should our structures be completely de-institutionalised and flexible? What is the Spirit saying? What about the future? Is there a Baptist way of being church that is sacrosanct to us?
