October is looking like being a very exciting month in the life of Scunthorpe Baptist Church, and we want you to get involved!
The Big Squeeze
We are exciting that on a Sunday morning we are going to have the opportunity to join together with New Life Church Scunthorpe and hold one large celebration. We are also pleased that Russ Howell will be sharing God's word at this special event.
Russ Howell has been a friend of both Scunthorpe Baptist Church and New Life Church for many years, and during that time has often spoken key prophetic words in to the life of the churches, as well as in to Scunthorpe and the North Lincolnshire area.
There will be no celebration happening at SBC as we are encouraging everyone to join us at New Life for what is sure to be a fantastic morning.
This amazing opportunity to unite with our friends at New Life will take place on Sunday 7 October at 10am, although refreshments will be served from 9:30.
SBC Autumn Conference
Every year at SBC we are blessed by a variety of conferences, and this year we believe our annual Autumn Conference is going to be incredible.
It is a great privilege that this year we are going to be blessed with the teaching and ministry of Dr John Andrews. John is a highly respected and gifted bible teacher who has been in full-time Christian Leadership since 1987. A lecturer at both undergraduate and graduate level at Mattersey Hall Bible College, John is also the author of a number of highly recommended books.
Unpacking his latest book "2:52 Learning to GROW on Purpose" John will inspire us to GROW intentionally, as Jesus did, "in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man".

Joint Praise Celebration
During the Raising the Flag season at both SBC and New Life Church we have committed to hosting Joint Praise Celebrations throughout the year. In 2012 we have already held 3 events, and they have proven to be a huge success, and an amazing opportunity to petition to heavens and declare God's goodness and love over our town and region.
It has been a huge blessing to have Andy Wooldridge & the New Life Church band leading us in worship, and we will be joining together again to raise the roof and give God all of the praise and honour he deserves. We would love for you to join us.

Cross Britain
Mark Ritchie, a well-known and respected evanglist in the UK, is going to be walkin 700 miles in just 70 days to share some of his story with the nation, as well as sharing the amazing story of God's love.
While praying Mark saw a picture of Britain as a crowded room, busy and distracted. He felt led to walk into the room and put the Cross down in the middle. Some people will accept it, some will reject it, but no one will ignore it. This is what God has put in his heart to do - to put the Cross in front of Britain.
He started walking in the UK on 26 August, and has already hosted some fantastic events, but we are fortunate that right at the end of the tour Mark is going to be in North Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. In fact the biggest event on the whole tour is right here in Scunthorpe!
The churches in the area have joined together to book out the Baths Hall (all 1000 seats!), and Mark will spend the evening making people laugh, cry, and hopefully encounter the amazing Gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are also going to be events across the region, including Brigg, Epworth & Barton, as well as Mark finishing the tour in Hull.
