Minister's Reflection

Associating

Dear Friends, It was lovely to have people in church last Sunday – those who live on streets from A to H! This Sunday we are hoping to see those of you on streets from I to Z! The numbers are restricted to 45 in the church, but there will Read more…

What a friend we have in Jesus

Dear Friends, It is times like this we need to remember “what a friend we have in Jesus”. Last Sunday morning, Merle White, a long-term member of our church and a good and loving friend to many of you, passed away. Don and their children, Elizabeth and Peter, and the Read more…

Mental Health Month

This week is the start of Mental Health Month in Australia. Many months ago, we planned a special service for the 10th October (which is also World Mental Health Day) but after weeks of lockdown and pandemic anxiety, Cecelia and I thought it would be good to use the full Read more…

Mini Church!

I am technically still on holidays, though a lot has been happening at the church this week, and there’s a lot happening this evening! You might have seen Canberra Baptist now has a double – a mini double! Inspired by the cardboard replica of the iconic Canberra bus stop, Cecelia Read more…

Small acts

Tonight at Community Hour we are sharing small scale ‘show and tell’. I am torn between showing the knitting project I relocated over the weekend (and worked out again which line I was up to!) or a photograph of the drawer under the kitchen sink that I finally got around Read more…

The PPE of God

Well, it looks like everyone will be zooming to church for another two Sundays (6th Sept and 12th Sept), and we will wait to see what the public health orders are after midnight on the 17th September. It is good then to remember the final words of Ephesians, that we Read more…

Community

“It takes a village to raise a child,” the expression goes. The equivalent expression, in our situations, could be, “It takes a church to get through a lockdown.” One of the life-savers in the last lockdown was being able to meet – online – with small groups from church, but Read more…

Vale May

Dear Friends, As we continue to reflect on the words of Ephesians 2, from last Sunday, on our God, “who is rich in mercy,” and who, “out of the great love with which he loved us… [has] made us alive together with Christ,” and brought us together to be, “a Read more…

“Face our disagreements and divisions not with fear… but [with] love and fellowship..”

Last Sunday we celebrated the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first group of Jesus’ followers and friends; as a comforter, as a uniter and to inspire their (and our) continuing mission. We concluded the service by ‘mapping’ the distinctive ways each of us enable others to find their Read more…
