Welcome to Cavy

10:15am — Paul Caldwell leads us Dunedin Red Cross Choir visiting

The story continues…..and reaches Africa

Many people contributed to the preparation for Dorothy Marsden’s funeral service on Tuesday. From preparing and cleaning the church to preparing the afternoon tea, Team Caversham Baptist worked really well. Thank you for that and I know Bill and Dorothy’s family are grateful for all you did. At the present time it looks as though Bill will shift to Invercargill to be near his daughter Elizabeth.

Next Sunday 6th May

8:30am — Breakfast Church 10:15am — Elizabeth leads us in worship

TO FORGIVE SOMEBODY is to say one way or another, ‘you have done something unspeakable, and by all rights I should call it quits between us. Both my pride and my principles demand no less. However, although I make no guarantees that I will be able to forget what you've done, and though we may both carry the scars for life, I refuse to let it stand between us. I still want you for my friend.’ TO ACCEPT FORGIVENESS means to admit that you've done something unspeakable that needs to be forgiven, and thus both parties must swallow the same thing: their pride.

Our next meeting is Thursday 3rd May 7.30pm downstairs at church.

Are you wondering what we do? Some of the things we do are visit/phone and pray for church people in their homes or in hospital, visit and take communion to those who can no longer come to church (e.g. those in rest homes), arrange shared meals and events to foster community within our church (e.g. soup Sunday, church concert, hymn-along, church picnic) and dream up ways of pastorally caring for people.
