CBA Ministers

welcome


Hello there. Welcome to CBAMinisters network. This is an attempt to provide a more targetted space for baptist ministers, youth & children's workers, particularly in the CBA, to share ideas, usable images, music, sketches, monologues, illustrations etc. AND even chat to each other!!

Thanks to all those who have contributed so far. I encourage you all to simply have a bash. I have just returned from a weekend away with the church to a place called Chantmarle (any been there?) which was an action packed time. I hope it was all worth the effort!! I thought I'd include a picture from my Summer hols in Norfolk, which I have found to be a really good place for chilling and walking along empty sandy beaches. Wonderful. Hope you are doing well.

Please note that images need to be yours (copyright issues). You will see that I have embedded some videos from reelworship, who provide the necessary code to do this. Other similar sites will do the same.

Please do sign up with your forum, which you will find under GROUPS. This will hopefully provide a good way of staying in touch with folk in your forum.

Please read Forum note on PowerPoints and use of images. Thanks
Colin Pye

Walgrave Baptist Church in Northamptonshire has a small and ageing congregation. We rely on visiting organists from other churches and, following the death last year of one very faithful participant, our 4th Sundays are usually music-less. That was…

Daily Manna from the Net for Tuesday, February 9, 2010 [Mark 6:53-56]

When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went--into villages, towns or countryside--they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed. Mark 6:53-56 NIV Listen

More Than Conquerors

I mentioned to one or two of you at my last BBA forum ministers breakfast that I've been using a resource called more than conquerors by Simon Guillebaud in individual discipleship, 18-30s meetings and a couple of times in services. It's an absolutley cracking resource - 13 short films (10 minutes each) which are deeply challenging, toroughly anchored in scripture and very well presented. They are charismatic, evangelical & realistic in theology and are well filmed in African locations. Chec… Continue

Easter Meditation

One of the things that I struggled with as a minister of a local church, was keeping the distinctiveness of the different seasons of the church year. It felt that although we called it ‘Advent’, often it was simply Christmas come early. And the same was true of Holy Week. It was hard to resist the pull of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen from the outset of the week. However, I persevered, and while, at the Good Friday Walk of Witness, I could understand the need to express something… Continue

Rhythm of Jesus

I included the following in my blog the other day but thought it was worth sharing with CBA Ministers as well. It happened in the context of our prayers as National Settlement Team and Regional Minister Team Leaders' Meeting:

Over the three days we pray together and on Wednesday one of my colleagues, Phil, led us in a characteristically creative and inspired reflection. We thought about John 11 and the death and resurrection of Lazarus, and went on… Continue

Retreat, vulnerable relationship and passion

This morning we held one of our theological reflection groups for newly accredited ministers. I look forward to these occasions as they are a good group of reflective practioners and invariably I come away enriched.

Sometimes I will provide some input, or we will invite someone in to speak on an issue, but also the ministers themselves are invited to contribute a paper on an aspect that they are exploring or raise an issue for discussion. Today we thought about the 'advantages and drawbacks for… Continue

Wonder and Wondering

Just to let you know that I've recently begun my own blog, Wonder and Wondering, and you can find it here. I've been thinking about doing one for a long time, but CBA Ministers gave me the opportunity to dip my toes, and now I've begun. Take a visit and leave a comment.
