Osterville Baptist Church OBC has been known for preaching the Christian Gospel and highly valuing the Scriptures for over 175 years.

We seek to be a worshiping, transformational, and missional church to advance the glory of Jesus Christ on Cape Cod, in New England, and to the ends of the earth. Come and visit us on Sunday Morning at 8:30 and 10:30 AM.

It was wonderful continuing our I Once Was Lost series this morning! We moved into Threshold Two: Becoming Curious. We are the sum total of the questions we are brave enough to ask, and curiosity is often the first sign of a spiritual "sprout" breaking through the soil.

As you look at your "Invite One" bracelet this week, remember to be sensitive to the "Dixie Cup" principle: 🥤

If someone asks a "six-ounce" question, don’t dump five gallons of answers on them! We want to fuel the spark of curiosity, not douse it.

Your Challenge This Week:
Ask a curious question: Try to move one level deeper (from Level 1 Information to Level 2 Interaction).
Listen more than you speak: Give the "Hound of Heaven" room to work in the silence.
Live curiously: Live in a way that makes others wonder why you handle life differently.

The Four Levels of Questions to watch for:
1️⃣ Information (Simple facts)
2️⃣ Interaction (Thoughts & emotions)
3️⃣ Understanding (Deep desires)
4️⃣ Transformation (Vulnerability)

Let’s help our friends move past the "whatever" fog and find something solid! I’m praying for the brave questions you’ll ask this week.

Blessings,
Pastor Rob

Get ready to worship, church family! 🎶

We are so expectant for what God is going to do this Sunday as we gather together. Our worship team has put together a powerful setlist to help us lift our eyes and open our hearts:

✨ Faithful And True
✨ Great Are You Lord
✨ Let It Echo (Heaven Fall)

Whether you are carrying a heavy burden or a heart full of praise, there is a seat for you here. This is also Communion Sunday, a special time for us to pause, remember the sacrifice of Jesus, and reflect on His grace together as a body of believers.

Join us at either of our two services:
🕘 8:30 a.m.
🕙 10:30 a.m.

It’s going to be a beautiful morning of worship, word, and community. We can't wait to see you there!

Happy Missional May, OBC Family!
The wait is finally over! Today marks the start of a month dedicated to stepping outside our walls and showing the love of Jesus to our community in tangible, "hands-on" ways.

We have been blown away by the response so far—we’ve already seen record-breaking sign-ups, and a few projects (like Habitat for Humanity and Kid Meals) are already FULL! But don’t worry, there are still plenty of ways for you to take a Next Step this month.

Here’s what’s happening in Missional May:

Packing for the Littlest Neighbors: We are assembling Layette Kits for new moms at A Baby Center, help us provide 20 starter packs for moms of newborns. 🍼

Birthday Joy: We’re celebrating local foster kids with Cape Cod Ambassadors by providing summer sports toys and helmets! 🎈☀️

Getting Our Hands Dirty: Join our work crews at Trinity Christian Academy (moving gravel/beautification) or Camp Good News (pre-summer cleanup)! 🌿🧹

The Big Event: We’re heading back to Feed My Starving Children to help pack 100,000 meals! 🍲

Ready to jump in? Here is how to sign up:

In Person: Visit the Missional May tables in the Fellowship Hall this Sunday!

Online: If you haven’t signed up yet, you can register for all open projects right here: https://ostervillebaptist.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/249/responses/new

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: If you already signed up on a paper sheet at church, you are all set for local projects! HOWEVER, everyone participating in Feed My Starving Children MUST still register online to claim their specific time slot.

Let’s show up together and bless the Cape this May!

Building Bridges, Not Walls
What a powerful Sunday together! We’re continuing our I Once Was Lost series by diving into Threshold One: Trusting a Christian.

In 2026, we have to be honest—there is a "Trust Tax." It’s that invisible wall of skepticism that often stands between our neighbors and the Gospel. Our mission this week? Pay the Trust Tax.

💡 The Trust Inventory
Take a look at your Invite One bracelet. As you pray for that person this week, ask yourself these six questions to see where your bridge-building stands:

Vulnerability: Have they ever called me when they had a real problem?
Reciprocity: Have I ever been humble enough to ask them for help?
Authenticity: Have they felt safe enough to be real with me when they were angry or sad?
Transparency: Do I share my honest life with them, or just the "highlight reel"?
Influence: Have they ever asked me for advice?
Connection: Do we ever just have fun together?

🎯 Your Mission This Week
Building trust is a lot like interacting with a box turtle. 🐢 You can’t poke or prod someone out of their shell; you simply have to stay present and patient.

This week's challenge: Find one "right" thing in your neighbor’s life—their work ethic, their parenting, or even how they care for their home—and offer a word of sincere affirmation.

Let’s be people who see our neighbors as friends to be honored, not projects to be fixed.

Let’s make this the best birthday ever for Cape Cod foster kids! 🎈☀️

For five years, OBC has had the incredible joy of partnering with Cape Cod Ambassadors to celebrate foster children across the Cape. These kids don't always get the big birthday celebrations many of us are used to, and we want to change that!

This year, the Cape Cod Ambassadors are providing rollerblades, and we want to complete the gift with Summer Sports Toys and Helmets to get these kids outside and playing safely all summer long!

How you can join the celebration:

🛒 Shop the Birthday List: We’ve set up an Amazon wishlist with specific outdoor toys and sports gear. Have them shipped directly to help us meet our goal!
👉 Shop here: https://a.co/0hGCzCN4

⛑️ The Helmet Challenge: We want to make sure every child is safe on their new wheels. If you purchase a helmet, please register at the link below so we can track our progress!
👉 Register your participation here: https://ostervillebaptist.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/249/responses/new

📦 Shipping Info: Please have all items shipped to:
Carla Tirrell, 55 Melbourne Rd. Hyannis, MA 02601

Deadline: All items are needed by May 17th!

Thank you for helping us bring a smile (and some summer fun) to these amazing kids.
