Community News

+ From the Diaconate Last Monday:

  • The deacons received a comprehensive report and proposal from our Building Feasibility Group and our consultants, Property Collectives. They began to assess together the possibilities and the risks. In the fulness of time this proposal will come to church members.
  • The deacons determined plans for our Advent and Christmas gatherings which include the singing of the Box Hill Community Choir (at the Last Breakfast on the 30 November), Candlelight Carols (9pm on Saturday 20 December) and the Christmas Day Service (9.30am on 25 December).
  • The deacons discussed ways of keeping the attenders at the Thursday and Saturday Bakehouse at around 100 (currently there are around 170 attenders on Thursday meaning long queues and congestion around the afternoon tea area). We are exploring ways to encourage other versions of food distribution by churches and Neighbourhood Houses on different days of the week to meet need and save food being wasted. We plan to store Bakehouse food in the lower level of the Village Well (near the car park) and harness new volunteers to transfer it to the Barn. This will aid delivery volunteers, keep the food together and curb delivery disruption when there are programmes running in the Barn.

+ Margot Firth-Smith was admitted to the Box Hill Hospital on Tuesday evening after suffering a slight stroke. At the time of writing, Margot was due to be spending a few days in hospital receiving treatment. Do keep Margot and Bill in your prayers.

+ Congratulations Keith! Many of his former colleagues gathered at Whitley College recently for a symposium celebrating Associate Professor Keith Dyer’s life, ministry, and work. Contributors to a forthcoming volume, ‘Unveiling the Word’, workshopped drafts and spent time with Keith – a fitting tribute to a scholar who has given so much to the college and wider church community. Remember Keith as he is preaching at the Westgate Baptist Community this Sunday morning.

+ You are invited to explore the possibility of doing Bible study and theological training at Whitley College as it holds an Open Day on Saturday 15 November. Information and registration link.

+ Christmas at Jubilee Housing. Meredith Beaton, Pastoral Care Worker writes: “As we approach the end of the year we start to think about Christmas and how we can bring some joy to the children in our Box Hill and Burwood housing complexes. Every year for a very long time BHBC has donated gifts to our children and have been extremely generous in their giving. Next Sunday 16th November, you will once again have an opportunity to take a Christmas gift tag, purchase a gift and return it on Sunday 30th November. In the middle of December, we hold a Christmas party at each complex and there we will happily distribute the gifts to the children. We would appreciate the gifts being unwrapped with the gift tag attached. Thank you to the congregations of Box Hill Baptist Church, New Hope Baptist and South Croydon Anglican Church who are our partner churches and continue to support us in so many ways.”

Welcome to Worship

This Sunday, 26 October at 10am

As Halloween approaches and people pull on masks and costumes, we pause to think about what it means to take ours off. In Colossians 3:9–14, we’re invited to “take off the old self” and “put on the new self,” clothing ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and love.

Community News

+ A celebration of the life of Barrie Paul will take place in the church on Monday 27 October 2025 at 2pm. The service will be followed by light refreshments in the Barn. If you aren’t able to attend in person, a livestream will be available here: https://youtu.be/dWNTuopaJD8

+ Our church’s Annual General Meeting will be held this year on Sunday, 16th of November. We’re now calling for nominations for the 2025-6 Diaconate — our church’s leadership group. We invite you to consider who you want to be on the Diaconate for the next 12 months. Our current members include:

  • Andy McCulloch
  • Lorraine Mitchell
  • Lynne Dyer
  • Shueh Wah Kennedy
  • Teang Laan
  • Theresa Taylor

If you’re pleased with how our current Diaconate has been serving, have a chat with them to make sure they’ve been nominated again. Or if there’s someone else you think would bring great gifts to our leadership, please talk with them and consider nominating them too. Once you’ve had those conversations, you can submit nominations using this link, or paper forms will be available this Sunday.

Nominations will need to be made by no later than Saturday 1 November.

+ Report from BUV Assembly: Delegates from the Baptist churches of Victoria meet twice a year in May and October at Assembly, and the meeting of October 17 was held at the Round in Nunawading. Depending on the capacity of the venue, around 300 people attend these gatherings, which usually alternate between the east and west of Melbourne, and include a dinner. At this meeting there were some appointments, including the election of Rev Allan Demond to Union Council, Allan has recently retired as senior pastor at New Hope. Assembly heard briefly from each of the 4 women and 9 men who were ordained yesterday (Oct 25) and also approved the recommended stipend and superannuation levels for pastors for the coming year.  At a recent Assembly some ministers expressed discomfort at receiving pay rises when people in their congregations were struggling financially, and the Union has commenced a process to review the assumptions and formulas it uses to calculate pastors stipends. 
The Union’s legal advisor provided an update on Supreme Court proceedings that the Union has initiated against Whitley College in relation to the use and purpose of funds from the sale of property in 2017, and delegates were given the opportunity to ask questions and express concerns.  Good news stories were shared from pastors of five churches who have found creative ways of rejuvenating struggling communities, and the Director of Ministries, Daniel Bullock, provided an update of the Union’s Strategic Vision. The evening ended with Delegates joining in prayer around tables. 

+ Please pray for Seaforth Baptist Church in NSW who are facing disaffiliation from the NSW/ACT Baptist Association because of their affirmative position around same sex marriage. Please see their statement below and pray for them and the Association as they meet in early November.

To the NSW and ACT Baptist Assembly,

We write this response to the Assembly Council’s motion recommending the disaffiliation of Seaforth Baptist Church from the NSW/ACT Baptist Association. Seaforth Baptist Church wants to remain in affiliation and asks you to vote against the motion on 8th November 2025. We believe there is a minority of churches and leaders who feel confused and unhappy about the decisions the Assembly has made, and so it is to you we appeal. We write this also because we believe writing is powerful in preserving this moment in history. Seaforth Baptist Church believes we should remain part of the NSW & ACT Baptist Association because we support the values of the Association.

Welcome to Worship

This Sunday, 5 October at 10am

This Sunday, and as October marks the beginning of the Whitehorse Seniors Festival, Dr Bruce Rumbold shares with us on ‘The Maturing of Faith’ – What are the resources that we bring to ageing? Have we sufficiently developed these throughout our lives? Join with us as we explore the ageing process a bit more – something relevant to all of us, young and old!

We also gather around the table to share in Communion, and bring our contributions of non-perishable goods for sharing with the community through Box Hill Community Information and Support.

Welcome to Worship

This Sunday, 28 September 2025, at 10am

This Sunday at Box Hill Baptist we’re exploring villages and tables—celebrating the communities that make us whole.

🕙 10am – Last Breakfast Service

Over breakfast we’ll be asking: “Where is your village?”

We’ll share stories, bless the different “villages” in our lives, and create simple symbols of our communities.

🕧 12:30pm – Village Gathering Market

Stay on (or come back!) as we launch a participatory artwork with local artist Kendall Bryant: The Table.

An empty table will be revealed—and you’re invited to place a symbol of your villages upon it. Over the next 3 months, the artwork will grow with the life of our many different local communities.

And then stay on for the many exciting things happening at the Market, from craft stalls, to social mixers, a pub choir, food and music. (12-4pm)

Spectrum Quest helps children and young people improve relationship and social skills through in-person tabletop role playing games.

We’re really looking forward to seeing how things unfold on their quests!

Community News

+ Each Monday morning between 8am-9am, Ian Bunston (coordinator of the Box Hill Community Choir) interviews a different guest on Zoom. This week, on Monday Matters, Ian Parker (from our church) was the special guest. He was speaking about ‘Paper—the everyday material that holds our world together’. It was an intriguing presentation as Ian spoke about the process from a log to a ream of paper. Those listening will now be thinking more reflectively as they reach for that paper tissue or load up their printer. The presentation was recorded. The two Ians should have the link if you want to hear the recording.

+ Spring Music for Peace: A Fundraising (75 Minute) Concert for the children of Gaza at 7.30pm on Saturday, 13 September 2025 at The Avenue Uniting Church, 44 Blackburn Road, Blackburn. Children free. $20 per adult. Funds go towards humanitarian aid through UNICEF. Violin, piano and ensemble performances with music of Telemann, Vivaldi, Schubert, Beethoven, Elgar, Grieg, Piaf and Morricone.

+ Our Deacons have been discussing the possibility of helping local churches and Neighbour Houses to establish their own Bakehouse (food distribution programme). The idea is to save more food from being wasted, help ease the budgets of more people and develop closer connections with local supermarkets and other food outlets. It is interesting to note that two months ago, the Wattle Park Chapel in Box Hill South commenced a Thursday afternoon food programme with 10 crates of food and 12 people attending. Now they have 60-70 families coming on a weekly basis.

+ The funeral of Grace Dodge was held on Thursday 11 September. Grace for 30 years served in Mymensingh, Bangladesh with Baptist Mission Australia (formerly ABMS). A summary of her service can be found at this link.

Pointers for Prayer

+ Meriel Barber, who now lives in the Surrey Hills Gardens Care Community, is not so well at the moment. She has a bad case of vertigo and is confined to bed. She may still take a phone call or receive a text message if you want to connect.
