Epping Baptist Church

Preparing for the Big Game - Boys Education

Cliff Brennan will address the next Locker Room meeting on Growing up male in today's society.

Cliff was the Deputy Principal at Epping Boys High School for 15 years and retired in 2007. During this time he developed many insights into the issues men face in their formative years.

Some of the topics that Cliff will cover are: social changes over the last 40 years, some statistics that will surprise, the impact of society and culture on boys, the need to address student's emotional needs, and dealing with vulnerability and ambiguity.

The Locker Room is an initiative by the men of Epping Baptist Church; where men of all ages can come together and be equipped for life's journey through great speakers, thoughtful discussion and good fellowship.

Sunday School Celebration Service

This special Sunday School Celebration Service will be at 10:30am on Sunday 19th September. Don't miss this great event as the children present songs and tell about Jesus. Sunday school will be on as usual. Children need to arrive at 8:55am.

School Holidays Combined Morning Service

Sunday 26th September will be the first of 3 weeks in the school holidays when we will have a combined morning service at 9:30am, instead of two morning services. This is to be our routine in all school holidays from now on. Morning tea will follow the combined service.

If you are a welcomer, or if you would just like to be better equipped to make new people feel welcome, then come along to the training sessions.

Guest speaker - Melinda Tankard Reist
Toxic - The impact of popular culture on girls and young women

In many areas, girls do better. They are ahead of the boys in school. They are in better physical health than their male counterparts. They have a range of options in work and education. Yet despite all the great opportunities on offer, girls are struggling. In an age of "Girl Power", many are feeling powerless. They are facing unprecedented social pressure, their emotional and psychological well-being at risk in ways never before imagined. In demand as a speaker, and a regular on prominent television and radio programs, Melinda is named in Who's Who of Australian Women and the World Who's Who of Women.

If you have been coming to Epping Baptist for the last couple of months and haven't been to one of these events before, this is your invitation to attend the September lunch.

We will talk about many aspects of the life of our church and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
