It is an exciting moment to be part of Hobart Baptist Church.

For over 130 years, people have found it a welcome haven of faith and friendship. Today over 350 people find belonging, security and freedom within the many congregations, groups and communities of faith that make up the church.

Recently, the young adults’ community of faith, meeting at Nathan and Kaya Lattimore’s home, has grown to 15-20. Mabuhay (led by Ps Joel Ortiz) is also growing, as is our 10am service. When we add our Karen Community (Ps Paw Nay and Ps Moo Lay), and Church With No Walls (Ps Frank Cole) you begin to get a glimpse of our diversity.

Then there is the Humanitarian Settlement Service (HSS) who work with refuges, Meet & Make (Max and Junette Levett), Boys’ Brigade (Scott Ambrose), and Kids’ Church (Tracy Ortiz). In addition, in coming months Joel Ortiz will commence Life, a ministry for international university students.

Hobart Baptist Church has already sown significantly into these ministries including the appointment of Nathan Lattimore (Youth and Young Adults Pastor) and Joel Ortiz (Multicultural Pastor).

Now we are beginning to see the fruit of what has been sown.

Let's Keep on Investing into the Future!

We had a great day of celebration and excitement on Sanctuary Sunday as we celebrated our unity and diversity.

Diversity – an essential ingredient of our Identity

• We are from different nations, backgrounds and ages
• We usually meet at different times and in different places

Unity – demonstrating God’s love

• Catch a glimpse of the church, and your place in it
• Fill the church to overflowing. It will be very exciting!
• Hear contributions from our ethnic groups
• Pray for each other
• Honour our leaders
• Bless our children

Our next Sanctuary Sunday event will be held on Sunday September 10, 2017

Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to this new system. It is going to a take a little while to get used to it. But it is one of those temporary challenges. You know what they say . . . short term pain for long term gain!

Siebrand mentioned it is like wearing-in a new pair of shoes - It will take some time to wear in, but soon it will be comfortable - which I thought was a very apt description.

Trying to login? If you are looking at this page and wondering what on earth to do next to login, you are not alone. Please avoid the temptation to click on 'Register'. You are more than likely already on the system, and if you register there will be two of you! If you are looking for your password all you have to do is click on 'I forgot my password' when you go here: https://hb.elvanto.com.au/login/ (If it doesn't work that's because we either have another email address for you, or we don't have your email address at all.*)

Already logged in? If you have been successful in logging in, please do remember to make a note of the password you just generated. If you do happen to forget it, then it is simply a matter of clicking on 'I forgot my password' when you try to login, and they will email you a link to the place where you can make up a new password. (For security reasons they will not email you the old password.)

*By all means get back to me on my personal email address if you have any questions by clicking here.
Or you could call me on 0401 652 566.

Love and blessings

Jenny
