Baptism Sunday

We are excited to celebrate three baptisms this Sunday!

Please join us as we celebrate James Bingham, Carol O’Connell and Michelle Craik as they publicly declare their faith and take this important step of obedience in their walk with Jesus. We look forward to a wonderful morning of celebration, encouragement and giving thanks to God for what He is doing in their lives.

Come along and celebrate with us!

Fire Drill – This Sunday

Please note that a fire drill will take place immediately after the morning service. As part of this exercise, we will be practicing our safe evacuation procedure. Everyone is asked to participate and follow the directions of our Fire Wardens.

Parents: Children in Kids Church and Creche will remain with their leaders during the drill. Please collect your children after, the fire drill to allow leaders to complete their roll check safely.

This will be a noisy exercise, so please be prepared. Thank you for helping us keep our church community safe.

Fellowship Picnic – Sunday, 20th September

A reminder that our Fellowship Picnic is coming up on Sunday, 20th September! We’ll enjoy lunch together with a burger and sausage sizzle, provided by our catering trailer.

This will also be a great opportunity to showcase our catering trailer and invite anyone who may be interested in joining the team. Alan Grieve would love to hear from you if you’d like to find out more or get involved.

For catering purposes, please RSVP in the foyer if you and your family are planning to attend.

We look forward to a great time of food, fellowship and fun together!

Thank You – Bottles & Cans Recycling

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been donating their bottles and cans. And for removing the bottle lids! Our most recent trip to the recycling centre raised an incredible $698.30 to support ministries in our church.

We also want to sincerely thank those who have faithfully sorted and recycled the bottles and cans over the past few months in Steve's absence. A very special thank you goes to Stephen Tuckerman, who has faithfully served in this ministry for more than 10 years. Steve has decided that it is time to step down, and we are so grateful for his dedication and servant-hearted commitment.

We are now looking for someone who may feel called to take over this valuable ministry. If you are interested and want to find out more, please contact the Church Office.

Final Chair Reupholstery Sessions

We’re almost there! Only 41 chairs to go!

Our final chair reupholstery sessions will be held on Thursday, 17 September and Saturday, 19 September, and we’re hoping to have all the chairs finished by the end of the week.

If you’re available to come along and lend a hand, we would greatly appreciate your help! Every extra pair of hands will help us get the job done.

Thank you to everyone who has already given their time and effort to this project. We’re so close to the finish line!

Kids These Days - Kid’s Ministry Training Day

For years, Kids Ministry leaders have faithfully cared for children in challenging situations using the best understanding and strategies available. But what if there was a way to see remarkable changes not by learning an entirely new program, but by making small, intentional shifts in how you relate to all children?

That's exactly what Kids These Days online training is all about.

Brain-first ministry isn't another task to add to your role. It's a way of being in relationship with children that transforms every interaction, like a turbo boost to the pastoral strengths you already have.

Instead of asking "How do I stop this behaviour?" you'll start asking:
👉 What is this behaviour communicating?
👉 What does this child need right now to feel safe and regulated?
👉 How can I help them return to a place where they can learn and respond well?

When we respond to the cause of the behaviour rather than simply the behaviour itself, things change.

For the kids in your ministry:
✅ They feel safe and understood rather than judged or labelled
✅ They build trust and belonging, becoming more open to learning and faith
✅ They grow in character and self-control as their thinking brain becomes available for discipleship

For you as a leader:
✅ Less time managing the same behaviours week after week
✅ Less emotional exhaustion as difficult interactions become opportunities for connection not conflict
✅ Greater confidence, encouragement, and reduced risk of burnout
✅ Ministry that is more relational, more rewarding, and more effective

When we stop trying to manage behaviour and start ministering to the distress driving it everyone benefits. Children experience greater healing and growth. Leaders experience greater joy and confidence. And the church becomes an even stronger reflection of the welcoming, compassionate heart of Jesus.

WHERE = Caboolture Baptist Church

Call to Prayer

Our Call to Prayer gatherings are back!

We would love for you to join us as we come together as a church family to seek the Lord in prayer. This is a special opportunity to pause, draw near to God, and pray for His leading, wisdom, guidance and blessing over our church, our ministries and our community.

There is great encouragement and strength when we pray together. Whether you regularly join us for prayer or have never been before, you are warmly invited!

Come and be part of what God is doing as we seek Him with one heart and one purpose. We would love to see you there!
