News & Events

Jesus did some of his most important work over meals, so we’re following that example – and you’re invited!

At the end of every month we join together to worship informally over breakfast. It’s a wonderful opportunity to share our journeys, challenges, joys and needs with a warm, affirming community in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Each Breakfast is different, but there will often be a short reflection, some readings from the bible and maybe a prayer or two – but with plenty of time to explore some questions with your breakfast neighbours and make some new friends.

Everyone is welcome and breakfast is free!

All are welcome as we enter the season and celebration of Easter with a range of diverse, meaningful and engaging services, designed to help you connect with the meaning of Easter, and each other.

• Palm Sunday, 24 March at 10am – Together we join in celebration and anticipation as Jesus enters into Jerusalem for the last time.
• Maundy Thursday, 28 March at 6:30pm – Fellowship Meal and Last Supper Reflections. Tonight we will gather around the table with the community, just as Jesus did, and share in the anxiety and pain of those final hours. (Please contact office@boxhillbaptist.org.au if you are planning to attend to help us plan for catering).
• Good Friday Service, 29 March at 9:30am – This morning we focus on the symbol and sacrifice of the cross – in more ways than one!
• Easter Sunday Last Breakfast Service, 31 March at 10am. Join us as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus with ‘breakfast at the beach’, including a free breakfast as we unpack Jesus’ resurrection.
