In these unprecedented times, our BUV support hub is here for you. As the body of Christ, we now have an opportunity to serve, more than ever, by providing care, love and hope to others in our community.
And we can do this together by sharing the load and resources.
Our BUV regional pastors are just a phone call away if you need any advice. You can also go to our website www.buv.com.au/coronavirus or follow us on social media where you’ll find the latest advice that can help you and your church during this pandemic.
We are also building a resource library on this page for you. If you have resources to share with the wider baptist family, we'd love to hear from you. Please email comms@buv.com.au
As countries are shutting their doors, let’s open our hearts. Please continue to pray for our communities, especially the most vulnerable, our healthcare workers and for our leaders.
Together, we can face this unprecedented time with #unprecedentedlove ❤️
