SCBA Golf Tournament
Monday 2nd June 2025
Iford Golf Centre, (home of Christchurch Golf Club), Riverside Avenue, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH7 7ES
2025 marks the twentieth occasion that churches will have competed for the Frank Boyd shield. The Christchurch Golf Course at the Iford Golf Centre 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 21st 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 5.00pm. The cost is £46 per person. The first tee time will be 11.30pm.
Please contact George Callan (George.callan@christchurchbaptist.org.uk) for more information and a booking form. It would be helpful if churches hoping to take part could let me know as soon as possible so I can have some idea of the possible numbers |
Other Baptist Events
Black Theology & Ministry Consultation
Wednesday 7th May, 7-9pm
New Road Baptist Church, Oxford
The evening will be musical interludes and perhaps some liturgy and an opportunity for church leaders and pastors to meet leading scholars and activists and ask them questions: – Less of the intellectual form of the morning, and more concerned with issues of practice. The evening will explore issues such as:-
-
How does one preach Black or Womanist informed sermon?
-
Can we give examples of how Black hermeneutics shape Bible study or our re-reading of well known biblical texts?
-
How can music carry liberative theological content and not just be a placebo for making people feel good? Is the latter necessarily a bad thing?
Taking part will be:
Professor Dwight N. Hopkins – Chicago University Divinity School
Dr Aaron Grizzell - Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Foundation
Dr Andrea C. White – Union Theological Seminary
Dr Raymond Carr - Harvard University
Bernett Nkwayi Mulungo – University of South Africa
If you wish to attend the evening, please contact Irim Sarwar @ office@newroad.org.uk |
