We apologise for the change in schedule, Sharon Mcrae had other commitments on the 31st, will be speaking on the 7th.
We wish visitors and all our friends in the Mitcham community a very Happy Christmas and New Year and extend a warm welcome to attend any of the services

Happy Christmas to you and your family!
You’re invited to join with us in celebrating the story of Christmas this year.

We have special Carols Services on:
Sunday 13th December at 10.00am
Sunday 20th December at 10.00am and 6.30pm.
Our Christmas Day service is on Friday 25th December at 9.30am.

Our AGM is scheduled to commence at 7.30pm THIS coming Wednesday, 25 November, 2009 in the front Simla Room and all regular attendees of Mitcham Baptist Church are invited to attend this important meeting. The meeting Agenda will include the elections for two Elders, Church Treasurer and Church Councillor positions.

The complete Agenda for the meeting, together with copies of the Annual Report and current Financial Statement will be available at the meeting for those who haven’t already received copies.

Firstly we hosted the BUV Nourish Day on Friday, then the BUV Delegates Dinner on Friday night, followed by the BUV Gathering on Saturday.

Then on Sunday we said farewell to our senior pastor of the last twelve years as he leaves us to become the BUV’s Regional Minister for the Eastern Region of Victoria.

So with the boss gone, our administrator on six weeks holiday in Canada, our High Schools pastor on school camp, the place seems a little bit empty!

Anyway, apologies for not keeping the site up to date as often as it should. All the latest news can be found in the bulletin by clicking the link to the right.

Of note this week is our annual assault on the State Youth Games at Warragal. Contact the office if you need more information about going, but be quick!

And if you’re not going, feel free to join us on Sunday night for a screening of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

See you somewhere, some time over the weekend.

See you there.

Dennis
