SCBA & Baptists Together Events
BUEN Gathering
Wednesday 6th August, 7pm
Online
We will look at two thing:
-
Church heating. What are the options? What is our experience? If your church has, for example, installed a heat pump or radiant panels or done something else to move away from a traditional natural gas system, please come and share your experience with us.
-
Being a Noah. Noah’s action in building an ark didn’t save all the animals from the flood but it saved species. Scientists say that we’re entering the world’s 6th mass extinction event. A 2019 UN report stated that ‘around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history.’ How can we – the world community – keep species alive until such time as we can once again provide a healthy environment for them?
If you would like to join us, you would be very welcome indeed. This is the link to connect: https://roseberyparkbaptistchurch.my.webex.com/join/simon.bartlett.

Ripples of Change
Friday 17th October 2025, 2pm
Bloomsbury Baptist Church, London
All are welcome, there is no need to register to attend, the service will combine thankfulness for the progress made to ‘create an equal space for women in all leadership roles’ as well as a time of lament for many of the findings of Project Violet.

Disability Awareness Sunday - 28th September 2025
Join churches across the UK in marking Disability Awareness Sunday – a time to celebrate God’s image in every person! – and download the new resource pack from disability charity Through the Roof
This year’s free resource is on the theme Made in God’s Image. It features Emily Owen, an award-winning Christian author, who became deaf at 21 and now lives with multiple disabilities. In her video and resource, she shares how God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16), not outward ability.
All matter as ALL are in God’s image
No matter our challenges, we’re all ‘wonderfully made’ in God’s image – and when churches fully welcome disabled people, everyone is blessed. Sadly, 72% of disabled people in the UK report facing negative attitudes (Scope). Joining church can be a challenge. That’s why this REALY matters.
Use the official date, 28 September – or any Sunday – to spark conversations with Disability Awareness Sunday and take a step towards disability inclusion.
FREE resource for churches!

Preaching Women of the Bible Online Workshop
Monday 17th November 8.30pm-9pm
Online
The gospels feature a number of women and without their stories, the story of Jesus would be incomplete. So why don't we hear about them very often in sermons? This workshop will look at some of these women's stories, how we can preach about them, and why it matters that we do so.
This workshop will be led by the Revd Liz Shercliff, tutor at Luther King Centre, Manchester.
Ticket prices: general, £12; ministry student, £10. Booking closes 13 November 2025.
Booking is still open for our other autumn workshops – Preaching the Psalms (20th September), Preaching Matthew’s Gospel (3rd November), and Preaching the Christmas story (15th November).
Further details, including booking links for all workshops can be found here |
