How wonderful to celebrate a baptism on Easter Sunday.
Raymond’s Baptism
How wonderful to celebrate not one but two baptisms on Easter Sunday.
Simon and Jayne Gibson
A few months ago we began collecting old and unused Lego. A great donation came from a number of individuals and churches, including Carrick Baptist, which we are really thankful for. This collection was with the aim of running Lego based Bible clubs throughout Cavan. In January we booked a community centre and advertised the club in local schools in Belturbet, Ballyconnell and Newtowngore. Very quickly we were full and over subscribed! Again we booked the community centre for another…
Shankill Christian Fellowship – Update
We have been greatly encouraged by the work at SCF over the past few months. In January we began the year with an outreach event, SCF Fit. Around thirty people have been attending the (eight week) event aimed at addressing physical, mental (and most importantly) spiritual health. We are thankful to those from Carrick Baptist who have come along and shared both their professional advice and their faith with those who attend on Tuesday evenings. We are really looking forward…
Emily Peru Hope Trust

Funds were provided for a Christmas present for every child there, and also at New Hope (48 children). Contributions towards Summer Camps for the children in their (current) summer holiday were added. We have moments of turbulence as we try to learn to…

Anyone who does not love, does not know…
Hannah’s Baptism
What a delight to see Hannah following God’s command to be baptized.
CB:Youth Update
Many of you will be aware that during January our ministry insight is CB:Youth. You can find out about CB:Youth in the January bulletin. This year during our study sessions we are giving our youth the opportunity to explore difficult life and faith questions that they might have. We hope that this will not only increase their understanding but also help as they speak about God with friends and family. We would love your help! Friendship Our young people face many…
Happy New Year
A new year is often a time for fresh starts. It’s a good time to reflect on the past year and think about aspects of our lives that need changed. Perhaps your resolution is to eat less and exercise more. Maybe it’s to spend less time on your phone and more time with your family. It is also a good time to examine your spiritual life. As we start 2019, can I encourage us all to meditate on Philippians 3:8: ‘I count everything as…
