As a church we want to commit our future and our ministries to God, so between 1 December and 9 January we are encouraging all to be involved in our 40 days of prayer. There will be a different theme each week. A prayer diary will be available in the Church Foyer.
Once again we have the privilege of being able to give practical help to those in need here in Sydney, through Baptist Care working in Woolloomoolloo at Hope Street. We will be collecting on 11th and 18th September.
The items needed are: Noodle Cups, Small tins of Tuna, Pasta and Pasta Sauce, Tea & Coffee, UHT Milk, Tins of Spaghetti, Rice, Shampoo & Conditioner and Body Wash.
Together we can make a difference!
This May Mission Month, CBC is collecting for Sydney Refugee Team (SRT) and Freedom to Flourish. Sydney Refugee Team seek to share the hope of Jesus with people seeking asylum and refuge living in the community in Sydney. They meet practical needs and build authentic relationships with people forcibly displaced from many different countries. Currently there is a huge need to help people recently arrived from Afghanistan.
Freedom to Flourish is a ministry in partnership between SRT and other mission organisations. Freedom to Flourish supports healing and growth for people from refugee background who have experienced trauma. They offer counselling, and therapeutic craft and garden programs.
Lord, help us to see and serve the hungry, thirsty stranger, naked, sick, and prisoner-physically, spiritually, emotionally – in your name (Matthew 25:34-36)

Our Good Friday offering will go towards the work of Crossover – a national ministry focused on Helping Australian Baptists Share Jesus.
Crossover supports outreach and evangelism by providing:
Encouragement – Because sharing the great news of God’s kingdom should be as important to the church as it is to Jesus
Training – To reach out with Christlikeness – love, gentleness and respect, not manipulation or argumentation
Resources – Not all of us have creative and innovative ways and words for reaching out, but some do! Crossover puts their tools in our hands.
Crossover has a small and dynamic team led by Director Rev Andrew Turner.
