As the losses of the past year cast a shadow on your familiar celebrations, I understand how your feelings are different this Christmas. You have deep longings for the ones who are not by your side. This is normal. As we prepare for Christmas, my thoughts and prayers are with you and for your comfort.
To assist you through this time, I invite you to the Service of Comfort and Hope, Thursday, December 18 at 6:30 pm sanctuary, when candles will be lit in memory of loved ones who you long for. A reception time will follow. If you feel this would be helpful for you, mark this date on your calendar and register your intention to attend. This will assist us as we prepare the names for the Memorial Honour Roll.
Remember you are not alone,
Pastor Kevin Culberson

12. Starting Local Going Global 2025 Christmas Campaign Update
A huge thank you to our church family for yet again coming through with generous giving to support both our local community through Christmas giving and our global Christmas project!
The Starting Local total to December 14, is $12,065.00. This covers the costs of the gifts for our new Life families who celebrated as a group last week and for a Christmas gift for each of our December Third Sunday Supper guests who enjoyed a Christmas meal this past Sunday evening. Any funds in excess of our costs for these gifts will be divided between our “local” ministries to help cover some of their costs through the year. These include our regular New Life ministry and our BSBC Benevolent fund which ministers to urgent financial needs of many connected to our church.
In addition, $11,690.00 has come in to date for Going Global which will be sent through our national office, Canadian Baptist Ministries, to support ministries in South Sudan.
Thank you to all who have given to our Christmas campaign!
God is so good.

14. A Note of Thanks From Roddy and Doris Thomson and Family
Roddy and Doris Thomson, along with their family, wish to express heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took the time to help celebrate Roddy’s 80th Birthday. It truly was a wonderful afternoon full of overwhelming love, warm wishes, and laughter. We are humbled by the warmth you have shown and grateful for the way you continue to walk beside Roddy and Doris in faith and friendship. Thank you for celebrating not just a milestone birthday, but the journey God has carried Roddy and Doris through. We are deeply thankful to be part of a community that lifts one another up and shares God’s love so generously.
15. Volunteering Opportunities
A. Sunday Streets Muffin Ministry: January 2
On behalf of our brothers and sisters who make a weekly evening trek around the city to visit those sleeping rough, and the members of your Social Action Team, thank you ‘muffin makers’ for your faithfulness serving in this way. Your sweet generosity is more than just baked goods; it’s an expression of care and hope in Jesus’ name.
Our Street Ministry team need muffins as soon as January 2 for our Sunday night outreach program. As we prepare for the busy winter months, we aim to have 4 dozen muffins each week to ensure we’re well-stocked and ready to bless those we serve. If you are able to help in this way, please place 12 muffins, individually wrapped, in a large zipper locked bag, and label the bag “Street Ministry”. You can place the labeled muffins in the upright freezer in the main kitchen. Don’t forget to include your name and the delivery date for which you signed up.
Please click the link below or call the church office (506-458-8348) and our admin team will be pleased to do the online registration for you. Jesus spoke of offering cups of cold water in his name. Muffins, we believe, offer the same opportunity to bless others for Him.
B. Scouting Boys
Our Scouting Boys ministry is in need of Leaders. Dads, young adults, or high school students who are interested in joining our leadership team can contact Dale Wilson at Wilsondaletreefarm@gmail.com.
C. Security Volunteers Needed

Your presence makes a real difference — creating a warm, secure space where everyone feels at home. If you’re ready to step up and be part of this vital ministry, reach out to Dan Lutes or call the church office at 506-458-8348 to learn more or sign up.
D. Third Sunday Supper Volunteers
We have several months in 2026, when we need volunteers to prepare a meal for our guests. If you could help out, I would love to hear from you. Please contact Judy Thompson at 506-238-9903 or email judypaul1088@gmail.com.

This will be an intentional group to grow deeper together, relationally, and spiritually, and requires a reading commitment and to attend on a monthly basis during the school year, with the possibility of meeting over the summer months as well. This is not a typical youth group, but one for ladies that wish to grow deeper in faith and relationship together.
If you would like to be a part of this group, please pray about it and reach out to Pastor Nikki for more information.

Pastor Ross Watters will be preaching in both the sanctuary and the gym on “The Promise of the Divine Presence”. Of his sermon he says, “Join us this 4th week of Advent as Pastor Ross engages around the theme of 'The Promise of Divine Presence' in both services this Sunday. We will engage again in Old Testament Scriptures promising the very presence of God, how those prophecies are fulfilled in Jesus, and how in the midst of some of the most extreme of circumstances, God's presence can still be with us and He can still be working out His purposes. Come to be infilled with hope afresh and reminded of the very presence of God with you this Advent.”
Whether in-person or online, be sure to join us this Sunday morning at 10:30 am.
20. Pastoral Care 2025
Your Deacons want to affirm that BSBC is equipped to provide Pastoral Care. We are grateful for the engagement of Rev. Ross and Pastor Nikki. We are blessed to have additional support from Rev.

We are equally blessed to have Cheryl Gibson and Roz Thompson, our Parish Nurses.

Contact the church office during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm
Outside of office hours, please contact a pastor directly
We have provided McAdams, Bishops, and York Funeral Homes with the contact information for both Rev. Ross and Rev. Kevin
If you are not a member of a bereaved family but know of a death within the BSBC family, please contact the church office to make sure your pastors are aware of the need
Parish Nurses
The parish nursing ministry is intended to support and strengthen the spiritual, physical and emotional well-being of individuals, families, and the congregation at BSBC.

Carley Edna (McKay) Colwell
Our hearts go out to the Colwell family on the passing of Carley. Carley was a long-time member of BSBC and a Sunday School teacher of note.

A loving wife, mother, and grandmother, Carley is survived by her husband of 73 years, Laurin; children, Dwight (Mary), Cynthia (Garth), Karen (Bill), Steve (Lise) and Mark; grandchildren, Michael, Melody, Jessica, Jordan and Erin; great-grandchildren, McKenna, Lydia and Adelyn; brother, Harland McKay; sisters-in-law, Margaret, June, Rae, Isobel Spicer, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
There will be no visitation, however a private, family-only service celebrating Carley’s life was held, with interment at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Brunswick Street Baptist Church or Hospice House Fredericton.
